Before I show you the other way I need to explain what percent is. Let us look at the name "Percent". Splitting this word we start with "per". This means 'for each of'. Now lets look the word part "cent". Think for a moment about another word that contains this part word. That word is "century". This 100 years. So "Percent" means for each 100.
To the fraction 1/5 as a percent is 20%. Here's the step-by-step process. Start by changing the fraction to a decimal by diving the numerator by the denominator (1 divided by 5). That equals 0.2. Change the decimal to a percent by multiplying it by 100%, or moving the decimal two places. That gives you 20%. Another way of thinking about it is multiplying the numerator by 100%, then dividing ...
See below Let's convert to decimal first, and I'll explain why later. To convert 1/6 to decimal, just divide 1 by 6!! (That's what the fraction is showing; a fraction = numerator divide denominator) 1divide6=0.16666666... So that is 1/6 in decimal form! (0.16 recurring) Note that per in percent means each and cent means 100. Therefore, percentage is just the quantity out of 100! Simple! So ...
To convert from decimals to percents, you multiply the decimal by 100, which gives you the percent equivalent of the percent. Percent is always based off of 100%, so decimals up to the hundredths place will always be integers, and the numbers after the hundredths place will be after the decimal.
Fraction = 4/5 Decimal = 0.8 Percentage = 80% To convert a fraction into a decimal, divide the top of the fraction (numerator) by the bottom of the fraction (denominator). In this case, the fraction is 4/5, so divide 4 by 5. This equals 0.8. Then, to turn the decimal 0.8 into a percentage, simply move the decimal point two places to the right, turning 0.8 into 80%.
so 2% is 2 of percent #->1/100+1/100 =2xx1/100=2/100# ~~~~~ #color(blue)("Answering your question")# Given: #3/5# We need to change this in such a way that the actual value is the same but it looks different. In that the bottom number becomes 100. Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value.
A percent can be written as a fraction with a denominator of 100. Unfortunately this is not possible with some fractions, including those which have 3,7,11 .... etc as a factor of the denominator. You need to divide: #1 div 6 = 0.1666666..# #0.166666 = 16.66666...% ~~ 16.67% ~~ 16.7%# However as the decimal recurs, these are not accurate.
