The percentile rank of a particular score is defined as the percentage of the scores in a distribution which are at or below the particular score. It is possible to determine some percentile ranks directly from the frequency distribution table, provided that the percentile ranks are percentages that appear in the table.hen a score is identified by its percentile rank, the score is called a percentile. It is also possible to determine some percentiles directly from the frequency distribution table, provided that the percentiles are upper real limits of a category.
To divide a decimal by a whole number, divide as you would for whole numbers; and place a decimal point in the answer so that it lines up with the decimal point in the dividend.
When dividing by a decimal divisor, we use the following procedure: 1  Multiply the divisor by a power of 10 to make it a whole number. 2  Multiply the dividend by the same power of 10. 3  Place the decimal point in the quotient.fter dividing, we will round the quotient to the nearest cent (hundredth). Multiply the divisor by a power of 10 to make it a whole number. Multiply the dividend by the same power of 10. Place the decimal point in the quotient. Divide the dividend by the whole-number divisor to find the quotient.
