if you mean ratio? lets say its 1 to 5 make the denominator 100 (in this case by multiplying top and bottom by 20) the top number will be the percent (in this case: 1 x 20 = 20 therefore 20%)

Rewrite the decimal as a percent 0.92?

92%


Rewrite the percent as a fraction in lowest terms 5 percent?

5 percent you write as 5% then you put it into a decimal as .5. Then wite it as a fraction as 5 over 10. Then reduce by 5 then you get one half.


How does the decimal point move when you rewrite a percent as a decimal and when you rewrite a decimal as a percent?

It's pretty simple. Every percent is out of 100. There is no possible percent higher than one hundred. So, when a percent needs to be changed into a decimal, you move it 2 decimal points to the left. This is so because percent means parts of 100, where 100 has 2 zeros. For example: 80% is 80/100. 80/100 = .8, so you move the decimal point two times to the left. When you rewrite a decimal as a percent, you do the opposite; move it two decimal points to the right. Make sure that the decimal is not greater than one because one is equal to 100% and as I said before, nothing can be greater than 100%. For example: .9934 = 99.34% or 99.34/100; move the decimal two to the right. I hope that helps.


What is 20 percent of 12 as a fraction?

20 percent of 12 refers to one-fifth of 12 and hence, in fraction, it is 12/5 because, if we rewrite in exponential form, it is 12*(20/100) = 12/5


What is 250 percent of 2 how do you slove?

A percentage is that number over 100, so we can rewrite 250% as 250/100. The next step is to note that "of" in mathematics means "multiplied by." This means we can rewrite the question as 250/100 x 2 This sum has the answer 5. Thus, 250% of 2 is 5.
