Question

TheEntryPass · Accepted Answer

A Rationale: 0.000026 as a percent is 0.00%, which accurately reflects its value when converted by multiplying by 100.

The other options misrepresent the decimal's scale. For instance, converting 0.000026 to a percent involves moving the decimal point two places to the right, resulting in 0.0026%. This value, when rounded, remains at 0.00%. The choices of 0.03%, 2.60%, and 26% imply a significant increase in value that does not align with the original decimal, as they suggest magnitudes far larger than the original number represents.
