Your friend says that 14.5% is equivalent to the decimal 14.5. explain why your friend is incorrect by comparing the fractional equivalents of 14.5% and 14.5.

because the answer will change once you convert it to a decimal. to convert a percent you didvide by 100 and drop the percent sign. 14.5% divided by 100 is 0.145.

well there are two answers for that.

2: you could also do one 100 and 2 tens.

those are the answers that i have thought of.
