Question 8630: Convert nine sixteens to a percent.
Hello can anyone show me how to do this, any easy way..thanks so much Answer by glabow(165) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Percent means part of a hunded. So, the answer will be x/100.
You have 9/16. [Reasonableness check: this is just over half, so you would expect something like .55]
What you have is
Can you solve for x? [multiplying both sides by 100]
Calculate this out and you get 56.25 [well,that's what I got!]
That means x is 56.25 and the percentage is 56.25/100.
You can also write this as .5625, which is close to our reasonableness check.
