How to write 0.7 as a fraction
Put the digits in a place value chart. The place of the last digit tells you the bottom of the fraction.
| Ones | Tenths |
|---|---|
| 0 | 7 |
The last digit is in the tenths column, so 0.7 is 7 tenths: 7/10.
7 and 10 share no factor except 1, so 7/10 is already in its simplest form.
As a percentage, 0.7 = 70%: multiply by 100, which moves each digit two places to the left.
To check, divide back: see 7/10 as a decimal and 7/10 as a percentage.
