how do i turn a mixed number into a percentage?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first turn the mixed no. into improper fraction

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

what number you want as example?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 6/27

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

9+6/27 make it improper as ramal said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok 15/27

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

No how do you add fraction?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

\(\Large \tt\color{blueviolet}{2+\frac{5}{8}=2\times \frac{8}{8}+\frac{5}{8}=\frac{16}{8}+\frac{5}{8}=\frac{16+5}{8}}\)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

this is how you add fractions first you have to have common denominator to add up the top

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

in your case \(\Large \tt\color{blueviolet}{\frac{243+6}{27}=\frac{249}{27}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the next thing you need to do is to put that number in your calculator and give the decimal form for it

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

then multiply by a hundred to make it in percentage

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

got it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got 41%

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

how?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

it should be a big number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i redid it and got 401.60642

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

no 249/27 is what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9.222222222

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

now multiply by 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

920

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

922 not 920

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so the percentage is 922%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
