  2. Percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage

    To calculate a percentage of a percentage, convert both percentages to fractions of 100, or to decimals, and multiply them. For example, 50% of 40% is: ⁠ 50 / 100 ⁠ × ⁠ 40 / 100 ⁠ = 0.50 × 0.40 = 0.20 = ⁠ 20 / 100 ⁠ = 20%. It is not correct to divide by 100 and use the percent sign at the same time; it would literally imply ...

  3. Calculation of radiocarbon dates - Wikipedia

    The final step is to adjust Fm ms for the measured fraction modern of the process blank, Fm pb, which is calculated as above for the sample. One approach [note 1] is to determine the mass of the measured carbon, C ms, along with C pb, the mass of the process blank, and C s, the mass of the sample. The final fraction modern, Fm s is then [12]

  4. Metric prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix

    A metric prefix is a unit prefix that precedes a basic unit of measure to indicate a multiple or submultiple of the unit. All metric prefixes used today are decadic.Each prefix has a unique symbol that is prepended to any unit symbol.

  5. Enantiomeric excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enantiomeric_excess

    If given the enantiomeric excess % of a mixture, the fraction of the main isomer, say R, can be determined using = + (% /) and the lesser isomer = (% /). A non- racemic mixture of two enantiomers will have a net optical rotation .

  6. Ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio

    If the ratio consists of only two values, it can be represented as a fraction, in particular as a decimal fraction. For example, older televisions have a 4:3 aspect ratio, which means that the width is 4/3 of the height (this can also be expressed as 1.33:1 or just 1.33 rounded to two decimal places). More recent widescreen TVs have a 16:9 ...

  7. Grading systems by country - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grading_systems_by_country

    In primary education, fractions of grades are identified with a + or −, which signifies a quarter (converted to either 0.8 or 0.3 if only one decimal place is used). Thus, a grade of 6.75 (or 6.8) could be written as 7−, whereas a grade of 7+ would count for 7.25 or 7.3. A 5.5 constitutes a pass, whereas 5.4 and below constitute a fail.

  8. Alcohol by volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume

    In the United Kingdom, proof is 1.75 times the number (expressed as a percentage). [ 23 ] [ 20 ] For example, 40% alc/vol is 80 proof in the US and 70 proof in the UK. However, since 1980, alcohol proof in the UK has been replaced by alc/vol as a measure of alcohol content, avoiding confusion between the UK and US proof standards.

  9. Risk difference - Wikipedia

    Risk difference can be estimated from a 2x2 contingency table: Group ... 0.75, or 75% Preventable fraction among the unexposed: PFu (CER − EER) / CER: 0.75
