Question

ok i need to take 16/35 and change that into a percent!!! idk how to do that. can u explain how to do that and give mea n answer cas i tryed to do it a few different was and got different answers and idk how to do them problem.

Answer 1

Top divided by bottom times 100.

16 divided by 35. That's a decimal.
Okay, now times by 100. That's a percent.

Answer 2

Percent means "hundredths". If you divide 16 by 35 using long
division you will get an answer which is a decimal. To change that decimal into a percent, you need to multiply by 100. In the decimal system. to multiply by ten you move the decimal point one place to the right. To multiply by 100, move the decimal point two places to the right.

An easier way is to multply the numerator by 100 first, and then divide.
If you were sitting here I would just show you, but instead I will
walk you through the problem.

Multiply 16 by 100. 16x100=1600
Now divide 1600 by 35.
Find the biggest factor which is a multiple of 10(30,40,50,60...)
which you can multiply by 35 and get less than 1600.
50x35=1750--too high
40x35=1400 that works, so the answer will be 40 something
1600-1400=200
divide 200 by 35
You get 5 with a remainder.
5x35=175
200-175=25 so the remainder is 25
Since 25 is larger than 35, your next digits will be after the decimal point.
I like to multiply the remainder by 10, and place the answer right of the decimal point.
250/35=7 with remainder 5 so so far our answer is 45.7%
Do the same trick with the remainder.Multiply by 10, divide, then move the answer one digit to the right.
50/35=1 with a remainder
You could keep on going until you got no remainder or a repeating decimal but this seems far enough.

So 16/35= 45.71%

Hope this helps you. Good luck.

Answer 3

16/35 * 100

Answer 4

Don't you mean 16/35 * 100?

Answer 5

First convert the fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator

16 divided by 35 equals .4571

Then convert the decimal to a percent by multiplying by 100

.4571 time 100 equals 45.71

The answer is 45.71%

Answer 6

one way is to divide 15 into 35 and that will give you a decimal. Now multiply that decimal x100.

example 4/20

4 divided by 20= .2

*100=20%

Answer 7

16/35=(0.4571...)/1 represents what 16 would represent to 35 if 35 is the unity(1). If you want to convert that to what it would represent if 35 represented 100(percentage), you must do a simple operation.
16/35=x/100
100x/100=(16)(100)/35
x=1600/35
x=45.71
So your percentage is 45.71%

Answer 8

Divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100.

Answer 9

oh, you divide 16 by 35.
when you divide you will not get a whole number, you would have to round it.
your persent is 46%

Answer 10

16/35=0.4571428*100=45.71428=45.71428%

round up, 45.7% or 46%
