example 16.85 / 2.6547, multiply top and bottom by 10 000, gives

168 500 / 26 547, this gets rid of the decimal points but the answer will be the same, now long divide.

How do you turn an improper fraction into a percent?

Please excuse my past self for my bad english skills, but I have edited my mistakes and included a few more tips along with the basic structures.You can easily change an improper fraction into a percent, the steps are very simple to follow: Divide the numerator by the denominator, multiply that by 100, and convert the decimal point into a %.Example:The fraction in this example is 5/4 with 5 as the numerator and 4 as the denominator. First, divide the numerator by the denominator.(5/4) = 1.25Move the original decimal two digits to the right.1.25 -> 125.After that is done, simply turn the decimal into a percentage .125. -> 125%Done!Or if you'd rather view this example the quicker way...Fraction: 5/45 divided by 4 = 1.25Move the decimal two digits to the right, it will then become a %.More specifically, 125%On the other hand, for decimals with longer digits after the point, you would keep the decimal and also add a percentage sign at the end of the number, no matter how bizarre the new value may look.Example:Number: 4.375Move the decimal two digits to the right.4.375 -> 437.5Change the decimal point into a percent sign.437.5%This should clear up any mishaps and misunderstandings, but it's always healthy to ask questions.


How do you order these numbers from least to greatest 75092 137 8000 144 8710022?

137, 144, 8000, 75092, 8710022 A longer number (not counting anything to the right of the decimal point) is greater than a shorter number. For numbers of the same length, compare the digits one at a time, starting from the left.


How do you turn a decimal into a mixed number?

To turn a decimal into a mixed number, you first write down the whole number part of the decimal. Then, you convert the decimal part into a fraction by putting it over the place value of the last digit. Simplify the fraction if possible. Finally, combine the whole number part with the fraction part to form the mixed number.


Do large numbers give longer number chains?

Most of the time, but large prime numbers still have only two factors.


Does every fraction have an equivalent decimal?

Yes, it may be a repeating decimal, such as 1/3 = 0.33333.... or 1/11 = 0.090909.... or something longer such as 1/7 = 0.142857142857142857.... where the '142857' is the repeating part. But every rational number (eg. fraction) can be mapped to a corresponding decimal equivalent.
