Asked by cheyennebarger

Answer (3)

To do it without a calculator you would first want to get the denominator to be 100. To do this you would have to multiply both the top and bottom by 4 So now you have 72/100. You would then divide 72 by 100. To do this you simply move the decimal left two place, and you would get .72
