How do you make a percent into a fraction?

Answer 1

you divide the numerator(top number) by the denominator(bottom number). for example ( PS this is a question from my hw.) OK um 33/40. into your calculator put in 33 and then press the divide button and put 40 . your answer should be .825 and then put a percent sign after if u have a fraction like this 4 3/5 then u make the whole number into a decimal like this 4. and then divide 3/5 which u will get 0.6 now put the 4. as the whole number and after it put 4.6%.

By definition, per cent means "hundredths", so it is very easy to convert decimal fraction

to per cents-- just move the decimal point two places to the right and add the per cent

sign.

Examples: 0.25 = 25%

125.1 = 1.251 %

.045 = 4.5 %

3 = 300%

To convert a common fraction to a per cent, convert it to a decimal by using division --

divide the numerator by the divisor and carry it out to decimal places, then do move the

decimal place as I said about to get the percent -

or if the numbers are small, just convert the denominator to 100.

Example 1/4 = 25/100 = 25%

2/7 =

.2 8 5 7 1/7

__________

divide 7 into 2 7) 2.0

1 4

6 0

5 6

4 0

3 5

5 0

4 9

so 2/7 = 28.57 1/7 % , close to 28.57%

Answer 2

You divide the numerator by the denominator, then multiply the result by 100. For example, if your fraction is 3/4, you divide 3 by 4, this gives you 0.75; then you multiply the result by 100, this gives you 75 (75%). (You can also first multiply 3 x 100, then divide this result by 4.)

Answer 4

for example:

33%

go 33/100

25%

go 25/100 = 1/4

for 57%

go 57/100

just start with 100 and reduce from there.

Answer 5

turn the fraction into a decimal, move the decimal two places to the right.
