How do you turn fractions into percents?

Question

Show me in a easy way and use examples like 5/8.

Answer 1

Convert the fraction to x/100

5/8 = x/100

5*100=8x

500=8x

500/8 = x

62.5 = x

so 5/8 = 62.5%

Now do a bunch on your own so you learn how to do it correctly for the pop quiz you'll have tomorrow!

Answer 2

there are two ways that i know about.

1. there's the multiples of 100 way. you'd use 100 because normally percents are out of 100. (i hope i said it right. ^^;) ex: 4/10 x 10=40/100=40%

2. there's the division way. in this case we could use 5/8. first you divide 5 by 8. your answer should be written in decimals. you could divide using a calculator by by using your brain (but using your brain is for your own good). so 5/8=0.625. that then converts to 62.5%. multiply this by 100 and you get 62.5. And now 62.5 is your answer.

hope this helped. ;].

Answer 3

Do the division on a calculator, then mulitply by 100. For example, do 5 divided by 8, then multiply by 100, and you get 62.5, which is per cent.

Answer 4

numerator divided by denominator, then multiply by 100

5/8 = 5 divided by 8 = .625 x 100 = 62.5%

Answer 5

divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100

eg. 5/8 = 62.5%
