Question 11

29% expressed as a decimal is 0.29.

To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide by 100. Therefore, 29% becomes 0.29 when expressed as a decimal.

A) 0.29

This option is correct because converting 29% to a decimal involves dividing 29 by 100, resulting in 0.29. This is the standard method for converting percentages to decimals.

B) 0.029

This option is incorrect. While it may seem similar, 0.029 represents 2.9% when converted back to a percentage, which does not correspond to the original value of 29%.

C) 2.9

This option is also incorrect. The value 2.9 corresponds to 290% when expressed as a percentage, which is significantly higher than 29%. Thus, it does not reflect the correct conversion.

D) 29.29

This option is incorrect as well. The value 29.29 represents 2929% when converted back to a percentage, which is far greater than 29%. Therefore, it does not represent the correct decimal equivalent.

Conclusion

The correct answer is 0.29 because it accurately represents the decimal form of 29%. The other options fail to represent the correct conversion, either by being too high or too low, thus confirming that A is the only valid answer in this context.
