Best Answer

When a problem asks, for example, for 2/5 of 100, this can be stated as 2/5 times 100. The situation is similar if you use decimals instead of fractions. 0.15 of 100 is the same as 0.15 x 100.

Change decimal to mixed number?

A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. So provided the number is a decimal fraction, it can be represented as a mixed number. If it is a decimal integer then it is not a mixed number and it makes no sense to try to represent it as one.

How do you get 10 percent as fraction?

1) First you divide 1 by 10 (because you have ten percent)2) Then you will get and answer of 0.1. And convert the decimal 0.1 to the fraction which is 1/103) But sense your working with percentages your number has to be out of 100. So add a zero to your numerator (Top number) and your denominator (Bottom number) and you will get a fraction of 10/100.That's how you get 10% as a fraction! :)
