Question 24612: how do u find the answer for this problem? What percent of 2/1 is 1/2

The fraction =2
Any number with adenominator of 1, is itself.
ex;
=2
=5
Now we turn the sentence into a math problem;
What percent is the number we do not know, so t wll be WP(what percent);
The word "of" in a word problem menas *(multiply);
The word "is" means =(equals);
So now lets rewrite the problem;
WP*2=
2WP=
First we will divide 2 from both sides;
WP=.25=25%
Hope you understand
=)
