Question

How do you turn Fractions and Decimals into Percents?

Answer 1

Give any fraction and decimal. I'll help you the best I can :)

Answer 2

Examples: 7/8 or 2.3

Answer 3

Multiplying by 100 gives you a percent. Because percent MEANS per one hundred.

Answer 4

2.3 in percent = 2.3 * 100 = 230%

Answer 5

7/8 in percent = 7/8 * 100 = 87.5%

Answer 6

How do you turn FRACTIONS into percents?

Answer 7

like 7/8 and 9/10 or 5/6

Answer 8

turn to decimal then turn to percent...do you know how to turn fraction to decimal?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

then turn them into decimals first then x100 to get percent

Answer 11

no that GT
Convert the fraction to x/100

5/8 = x/100

5*100=8x

500=8x

500/8 = x

62.5 = x

so 5/8 = 62.5%

Now do a bunch on your own so you learn how to do it correctly

Answer 12

for example 9/10

9 divided by 10 = 0.9

0.9 x 100 = 90%

do you understand that?

Answer 13

use your calculator function

Answer 14

or long division method lol

Answer 15

yes, but wouldn't 0.9 be like, a 10?

Answer 16

look

Answer 17

what do you mean a 10?

Answer 18

oh wait never mind i understand

Answer 19

1=1
1/2 = how many 2s go into 1? 2[D]1 and put 0, a decimal, how many 2s go into 10? 5
so your answer is 0.5

Answer 20

etc etc

Answer 21

that's when you go into very complicated numbers without a calculator, hope that helped

Answer 22

i understand that you're 7th grade, but i did this when i was in p2 :P

Answer 23

then you multiply 0.5 by 100?

Answer 24

right!

Answer 25

lmao nobody could answer my question until now...

Answer 26

And one more question,

Answer 27

geometric series >.<

Answer 28

\[\Large {9 \over 100} = 0.09\]
\[\LARGE {0.09 * 100 = 9}\]
\[\LARGE {9 \over 100} = 9 percent\]

Answer 29

look @ a ball is dropped... question

Answer 30

What is range and how do you do it?
for example 170, 180, 190, 160, 170 what is the range of these numbers?

Answer 31

\[\LARGE Range = highest - lowest\]
\[\LARGE 190 - 160 = 30\]
\[\LARGE Range[170,180,190,160,170] = 30\]

Answer 32

but if it ask what the range is, is that what you write?

Answer 33

Yes.

Answer 34

thanks so much

Answer 35

so its like going up highest to going down lowest?

Answer 36

The range is how many numbers are there in a data set between the highest and lowest in a data set.
