Write the equivalent fraction, the reduced fraction, and the decimal equivalent for 45%. Jenny solved this problem and her work is shown below. What mistake did she make?

Question

45% = = = 4.5

What is her mistake?

Answer 1

45/100 is correct; 9/20 is correct; but 9/20=0.45. Jenny did not move the decimal point to the right position, so she had 10 times the proper answer.

Answer 2

The decimal equivalent is not correct. The decimal point is in the wrong position. The decimal point should be to the left of the 4, so the correct answer is 0.45.
