Question

percent notation of 9/16 my answer 9/1600 am i way off?

Answer 1

To change any number to percent, multiply that number by 100, then add the percent sign.

Answer 2

Basically the converted percentage has to be equal to the original number. If they are not equal, then you have done something wrong.

Answer 3

Example:

Convert 9 to a percentage form:

First multiply 9 by 100:

9 x 100 = 900

Then add the percent sign:
900%

Thus

9 = 900%

Answer 4

Now why does 9 = 900%?

Because % = 1/100

Answer 5

So

9 = 900%
9 = 900/100
9 = 9

Answer 6

Answer 8

What does that refer to?

Answer 9

In general, if you are given something in one form, you should leave it in that same form after manipulation unless you are specifically told to write it in another form. What I mean by that is, you have a fraction. And you can write the number in percentage form without changing the number to the decimal. Basically, what I mean is, just leave the result in fraction form.

Answer 10

First multiply 9/16 by 100
\[\frac{9}{16} \times 100 = \frac{225}{4} \]


And then after adding the percent symbol:
\[\frac{225}{4} \%\]

Answer 11

So \[\frac{9}{16} = \frac{225}{4} \%\]
