Question

How do you turn a fraction into a percent? I’m learning this in school.

Answer 1

The simplest way is to have 100%

1/2 is half of 100%, so 100/2 = 50%

1/3 is a third of 100%, so 100/3 = 33.33%

1/4 is a fourth of 100%, so 100/4 = 25%

1/5 is a fifth of 100%, so 100/5 = 20%


To turn a fraction into a percent, you simplify it

So for example...

4/6 = 2/3 = 66.66%
12/36 = 6/18 = 3/9 = 1/3 = 33.33%
