How do you convert percentages into fractions and decimals?

Answer 1

With a percentage you know it is out of 100

Ex. 67% = 67/100 and 0.67

If you start with a fraction you divide the numerator (top number) by the Denominator (bottom number)

Ex. 15/25= 0.6 x 110= 60%

If you start with a decimal

Percentage Ex 0.56x100= 56%

Fraction Ex. 0.56= 56/100 because this is not in lowest terms you must find a number that both the numerator and denominator are divisible by in this case
56/100 / 2 = 28/50 keep on going until one or both of the number cannot be divided any more but are still whole numbers. this case 14/25 is the answer. make sure you divide both the numerator and the denominator by the same number so that it stays the same to the beginning number. 56/100 = 14/25. hope this helped

Answer 2

Converting percentages into decimals is very easy. All you have to do is divide the percentage that you need to convert by 100. It will give you the decimal point you need every time.Converting percentages into fractions is also very easy because since you are dividing the percentage by 100 to get your decimal point you are already making a fraction. For example, lets say that you need to convert 30 % into a fraction, you would divide 30/100. That right there is your fraction. All you would have to do would be to reduce which would give you 3/10.

Answer 3

ok..well the simplest way would be by me giving you an example. Lets say that you have 50% which you have to change into a fraction and decimal. What does 50% mean?...that means 50 out of 100, so in this case your fraction would be 50/100 or simplified which means dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number (the biggest number that they are both divisible by) to make the fraction smaller. In this case we can divide both 50 and 100 by 50. so the fraction is simplified to 1/2. Right?..as for a decimal. if 1 means 100% then 50% means .50. and 32% means .32. 250% would be 2.5. do you get it?

Answer 4

For example, if you want to convert 50% to a fraction, you would rewrite 50% as 50/100, which is 1/2. If you want to write 50% as a decimal, simply move the decimal point two places tothe left, in this case 50%= .50, or just .5

Answer 5

50% = percent means out of 100 so the fraction is 50/100 or 50 over 100 decimal is easy 50 % move decimal places 2 spaces to the right .50 simplify the answer 50/100 = 1/2

Answer 6

well a fraction would be easy. Say you have the percentage 25%. 25% = 25/100. 25/100 would then be simplified to 1/4. Same goes for any percentage. 66% = 66/100, etc.

And for decimals, just move the decimal over the the left two spaces. 35% becomes 0.35.

Answer 7

Percentage into deciaml

Divide the percentage by 100
eg 37% = 0.37
5% = 0.05

Percentage into fraction

Write the percentage as a fraction over 100 and then write it in its simplest form

eg 24% = 24/100 = 6/25

Answer 8

you can convert percentages into decimals by changing the percent sign into a decimal and moving it 2 spaces to the left,
EX. 32% change the percent, then move it 2 spaces and it becomes .32.
and for it to become a decimal you put the percent over 100 and thats your fraction
Ex. 32% equals 32 over 100.
then you just put that into the simplist form. which for this equation would be 8 over 25.

Answer 9

Well, you know a percentage is a way of expressing something in hundredths.

50% = 50/100 = 1/2 = .5

20% = 20/100 = 1/5 = .2

You should be able to figure it out from there

Answer 10

If it is a percent such as 25% just move the decimal point two places to the left. Examples 25% becomes .25 125% becomes 1.25. Thoes are you decimals.
