I desperately need homework help!!! please?

Question

convert the followint fractions to decimals: 1.) 7/8, 2.) - 5/2, 3.) 39/50, 4.) 1/6....convert the following decimals to fractions: 5.) - 1.3, 6.) 125, now: write each fraction as a percent to the nearest tenth of a percent: 7.) 1/12, 8.) 5/6, 9.) 3/11 the last one: write each percent as a fraction in simplest form: 10.) 6%, 11.) 37.5%, 12.)17%


i would like these in order but if you only now indivudal ones please put the number and ill give the 10 points if you explain how to convert and all that stuff..... thanks a lot if i get them correct i give 10 points

you know what can i just get the formulas or something???

sorry about that whole "give me the answers" it is just that i have alot on my mind that is why i asked for formulas, ill ask teacher for help tomorrow its just that i have alot of other work to do

Answer 1

1) 0.875
2) -2.5
3) .78
4) .16667 (or .1666666 repeating)
5)-13/10
6)does this question say 125? If so, as a fraction it is 125/1
if you meant 0.125, then it is 1/8
7)8.4%
8)83.3%
9)27.3%
10)3/50
11)3/8
12)17/100

Answer 2

Converting fractions to decimals is simple. You divide the numerator by the denominator.
Once you have the decimal equivalent, you multiply by 100 to get the %.

7/8 = 0.875 = 87.5%
- 5/2 = -2.5
39/50 = 0.78
1/6 = 0.16
Converting decimals to fractions is simple if you remember what
the decimal actually means.
example:
-1.3 is another way of writing -1 and 3/10
Convert -1 3/10 to an improper fraction:
-13/10
125 is a whole number
1/12 = 0.083 0.083 x 100 = 8.3%
5/6 = 0.83 0.83 x 100 = 83%
3/11 = 0.27 0.27 x 100 = 27%
To get a percent back to it's fraction, divide by 100:
6%/100 = 6/100 Reduce to 3/50
(Don't worry about the % sign, it is dimensionless).
37.5%/100 = 0.375 = 375/1000 Reduce to 3/8
17%/100 = 17/100

I hope this has helped you understand. Here is how a series looks for a % to a fraction and back:
5% --> 5/100 --> 1/20
1/20 --> 0.05 --> 5%

Answer 3

to convert fractions to decimals, simply divide the numerator by the denominator . . so for #1 . . do 7 divided by 8 . . and your answer is 0.875 . . so the same for #2, 3, and 4

to convert decimals to fractions . . for -1.3 . . -1 will remain a whole number . . but you put the decimal part over it's place value . . the 3 is in the tenths place . . . so the fraction is -1 and 3/10 . . . for #6, to make a whole number a fraction, simply put the number over 1 . . so the fraction will be 125/1 . . .

to write fractions as percents . . follow the same process as changing a fraction to a decimal, then multiply by 100 . . . so for #7 . . do 1 divided by 12 . . then multiply times 100 . . . so 1 / 12 = 0.083333 then x 100 = 8.33% . . do the same for #8 and 9 . .

to write a percent as a fraction . . take the number and divide by 100 . . then follow the same process as changing a decimal to a fraction . . . so for #10 . . do 6 divided by 100 . . 6 / 100 = 0.06 . . the 6 is in the hundredths place . . so to write this as a fraction, it would be 6/100 . . then simplify . . divide both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor, in this case it is 2 . . 6 divided by 2 = 3 and 100 divided by 2 = 50 . . so your answer is 3/50 . . . do the same for #11 and 12 . . . hope this helps . .

Answer 4

Okay..1. 1/8 is 0.125, so 7/8 would be 7 x 0.125 = 0.875

2. - 5/2 = - 2.50

3. 39/50 = 0.78

4. 1/6 = 0.166666666666666....

5. - 1.3 = - 1 3/10

6. 125 = 125 / 1

7. 1/12 = 0.083333 , X 100 = 8 .3 %

8. 5/6 = 0.833333 , X 100 = 83.3 %

9. 3/11 = 0.027 , X 100 = 2.7 %

10. 6 % = 6 / 100 = 3 / 50

11. 37.5 % = 375/1000 = 75 / 200 = 3 / 8

12. 17 % = 17 / 100

Good Luck and Have a Nice Day...

Answer 5

The formula for converting to decimals, is in the fraction it self. The slash is the same as the divided by symbol.

Divide the 1st number by the 2nd.

7/8 = 7 divided by 8 = 0.875
1/2 = 1 divided by 2 = 0.5
5/2 = 5 divided by 2 = 2.5

Answer 6

Ebonee & nammy give the best detail & instruction. The main point is:

Converting fractions to decimals is simple. You divide the numerator by the denominator.
Once you have the decimal equivalent, you multiply by 100 to get the %.


Now the best way to approch this is to find fractions & persentages that you use in everyday life and work those to keep in your head as examples. For instance 1/2 = .5 =50%, 1/3 = .33 = 33%, 3/5 = .6 = 60%, knowing these will give you a sense of what is greater & lesser as well as cement the solution process in your brain.
