How do you change a percent to a fraction?

Answer 1

Step 1: Multiply the fraction by 100.

Step 2: Divide the new numerator by the denominator.

Example: Change 6/17 to a percentage.

rounding the answer to the nearest whole number. So 6/17 = 35%.

By the way, if you want to just convert the fraction to a decimal, don't bother multiplying the numerator by 100. So, in our example, 6/17 = 0.35 if we round our answer to 2 decimals.

Answer 2

you change a percent to a fraction by converting the fraction to a decimal (:
You put the percentage over the number 100, and see if you can simplify it. Often it is convenient to convert to an approximate fraction. For example, 33 1/3 percent = 1/3, but percentages that are nearby (for example, 32%, 33%, 34%) might also be quoted as "1/3" or "about 1/3".

Answer 3

The word "percent" means per one hundred.

So simply write the percentage value as a fraction over 100 and then simplify if required.

For example:

75% = 75/100 which simplifies to 3/4 (by dividing top and bottom by 25).

54% = 54/100 which simplifies to 27/50 (by dividing top and bottom by 2).

Answer 4

You put the percentage over the number 100, and see if you can simplify it. Often it is convenient to convert to an approximate fraction. For example, 33 1/3 percent = 1/3, but percentages that are nearby (for example, 32%, 33%, 34%) might also be quoted as "1/3" or "about 1/3".

Answer 5

simplify. Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF

Answer 6

Divide numerator (top) by denominator (bottom) then move the decimal two times to the right.

Answer 7

Make the fraction equivalent to 100, and cross multiply and divide.

X/X = X/100.

Or divide the top number by the bottom number and move the decimal two spaces to the right.
