Hi, there--

\n" ); document.write( "You want to represent the fraction, 112/70, as a percent. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "[I]
\n" ); document.write( "One way to solve this problem is to divide 112 by 70. The answer is a decimal number that we can convert to a percent pretty easily.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"112%2F70=1.60\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "We can write a decimal number as a percent by multiplying it by 100.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1.6%2A100=160%25\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So 112/70 is equivalent to 160%. It makes sense that our percent would be greater than 100% because 112/70 is greater than 1 (The numerator is greater than the denominator.)
