How are percents and fraction different?
A percent is a fraction that always has 100 as the denominator (bottom number). So 14% is 14/100 or 0.14.
Is there such thing as a fraction with 100 as the denominator?
Any real number can be the denominator in a fraction. A fraction is a way of expressing one number (the numerator, the "top" number in a fraction) by another (the denominator, "bottom number.") So it is possible to have a denominator of 100.
How do you identify the numerator and the denominator?
The numerator is the top number, the denominator is the bottom number. I always remembered that the "denominator" was "down".
How do you change 140 percent to a fraction or mixed number?
"Percent" means "out of 100", so you know that your denominator is 100, and your numerator is 140 (140/100). 140 is over 100 by 40, so as a result, 1 would be your whole number (because 1 whole is 100/100), 40 would be your numerator, and you always keep your same denominator, 100.
How do you find the percentage of a number with a fraction?
Get the denominator to be 100.
