Question

Can you please show me an example on how to make fractions into percentages?

Answer 1

All you need to do is divide the numerator by the denominator. for example,

5/10 = \(5 \div 10\) =0.5*100=50%

Answer 2

50/100 = 50 percent 50 divided by 100 = .5 = 50 %

Answer 3

But what happens if the top number is higher than the bottom?

Answer 5

6/5 becomes 1 and 1/5 or as a decimal, 1.2
changed to percent: multiply by 100 and tack on a % sign:
1) 1.2*100 = 120
2) tack on % sign: 120%

so 6/5 is 120%

100% means an "entire whole"
120% means 100% (an entire whole) plus 20% more
