You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first we have to do something about the 5/8
\n" ); document.write( "divide it out 5/8 =.625
\n" ); document.write( "or take it in parts
\n" ); document.write( "4/8=1/2=.50
\n" ); document.write( "2/8=1/4=.25
\n" ); document.write( "1/8=/.125
\n" ); document.write( "We have 4/8+1/8=.500+.125=.625
\n" ); document.write( "now we put the two parts together
\n" ); document.write( "72 and .625\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "72.625%
\n" ); document.write( "to remove the percent cent we move the decimal two places to the left.
\n" ); document.write( " remember .01 =1/100=1.00%=1%
\n" ); document.write( "so we move the decimal point
\n" ); document.write( ".72625=72.625%=72 5/8 %
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
