how do you turn a fractin into a percent?

Answer 1

Divide the top number by the bottom number.

ex: 1/5 = 20%

Answer 2

example: 1/2= you have to change 1/2 to a decimal FIRST. so it would be .5 because 2 into 1 is implssible so you have to add .0 after 1 so that would be 1.0 so thats 10 right? okay yes so 2 can go into 10 5 times! so bring up the decimal so .5 so finally your question yo change .5 to a fraction you take the .5 and move the decimal two places to the left so it would be 50% !!!! *good luck in math class* dosent it suck :)

Answer 3

Divide 100 by the bottom number then multiply that number by the top number.
Example: 5/8...100 divided by 8 equals 12.5. 12.5 times 5 equals 62.5. so you have 62.5%.

Answer 4

Multiply your fraction by one hundred to get p.c.. p.c. in simple terms potential out of one hundred. you additionally can do by setting up a ratio equation as an occasion 4/10 = x/one hundred the place x is your answer and it is 40. So your answer may be 40%

Answer 5

move the decimal 2 places over 2 the right

Answer 7
