Question

Write each fraction as a percent.

A. 7/20

B. 10/50

C. What method did you use to do this?

Answer 1

convert the fractions into decimals then multiply the decimals by 100 to get percent

for example like fraction 1/5 = 0.20 as a decimal = 20%

Answer 2

Divide the top number (numerator) by the bottom number (denominator).

For example, on Question A: 7 divided by 20 = 0.35 = 35%

0.35 = 35% because to turn a decimal into a percent, you move the decimal place two places to the right.

Answer 3

a) 7/20 - 7 divided by 20 =0.35 and 0.35 x 100 = 35%
b) 10 / 50 - 1 divided by 5 = 0.2 and 0.2 x100 = 20%
