Urgent help! what is 2 expressed as a percentage of 14?

Answer 1

2/14*100=1/7*100=14 2/7%

Answer 2

2/14 X 100 = 1/7 X 100 = 14 2/7%

Answer 3

2 / 14 * 100 = 200 /14

Answer 4

You have to put this in math terms.

2 expressed as a percentage of 14......translate that into math.

'as a percentage of'......meaning...you don't know what the percent is, so give it a name.....per usual with an unknown, call it 'x'.

So.....you have some percent OF 14. This translates as:

x%*14

"OF" means multiply.

"percent" means "divide by 100"

So we have: (x/100)*14, or......14x/100

"What is"....means equal to.

14x/100 = 2

Now...solve for 'x'.

==> 14x = 200
==> x = 200/14 = 100/7 = 14.29

That's your answer, and that is HOW you figure it out. I hope it was clear, and helpful to you.

Answer 5

what this question means is 2 is how much of 14, what % of 14 is 2.
so that means:
2/14
so now change the fraction so that it is over 100 (out of 100)

solve the proportion (cross-multiply)
2/14 = x/100
2*100 = 14x
200 = 14x
divide by 14
x = 14.2857...
about 14.3
so 2 is about 14.3% (exactly 14 2/7%) of 14

Answer 6

2/14 = 1/7 = 0.142857 recurring

Answer 7

2 is 1/7th of 14. 100 divided by 7 = 14.285.

Therefore I reckon the answer might be 14.285%

Answer 8

2/14=1/7=0.1428571429
2/14 as a percent is
14.3%

Answer 9

no offence but I'm a little astounded as to the amount of questions that appear on here as to how to express certain numbers in terms of percentages/ decimals/ fractions. I'm not aiming this directly at you it's just that it seems to suggest that schools these days concentrate too much on the complicated areas and forget about the basics - god I feel old!

Answer 10

per cent is parts per hundred

do 100 /14

multiply by 2

picture how it relates to the fraction

or simplify 1/7
