3 full columns out of 10 are shaded, plus half of another column. How can you write this in the forms listed above?

Percent: 35%

$\text{Fractions: }\frac{35}{100} \text{ or }\frac{7}{20}$

Decimal: 0.35

This problem is similar to part (a).

Words: Thirty-five hundredths or three tenths and five hundredths or thirty-five out of one hundred

To represent five and one-half hundredths,

$\text{you would write 5.5\%, }\ \frac{55}{1000},\text{ or } 0.055.$

Since there are two 100% blocks in this problem, the answers will be greater than 100%.

In percent form, this is 195%. Can you write this as a decimal, fraction, and in words?
