Question 116110: Write the fraction as a percent.
7. 29/100
Any help with this equation would be Greatly appreciated. Answer by bucky(2189) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Percent is defined as "hundredths". So, if you can get any fraction in the form where it
has 100 as its denominator, you can say that the numerator is the percent.
.
In this case you are given:
. as the fraction.
.
Since the denominator is 100, 29 is the percent. So the answer is 29%
.
Suppose though that you were given:
.
.
and asked what percent that was. To convert the 25 so that it becomes 100 you multiply
it by 4. But if you multiply it by 4 you must also multiply the numerator 3 by 4. When
you do those two multiplications you get:
.
.
Now that you have the denominator equal to 100, you can say the percent is the corresponding
numerator of 12. This means that is equivalent to and this corresponds
to 12%
.
Hope that helps you understand one way to convert a fraction to percent.
