I find it easier that way, but that's just me! :)

Answer 13

Ok what about 9/36

Answer 14

And i can round it to the nearest tenth if neccassary.

Answer 15

9/36=x/100... 900/36=25

Answer 16

It might take a little longer to do it the way I do it. I usually turn the fraction to a decimal and then the decimal to a percent.

9 divided by 36 = n
n x 100 = your answer as a percent
