Question

What is 9/20 written as a percent

Answer 1

9/20=0.45
0.45×100=45
45/100 is the answer

Answer 2

To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. If we want to write
`(9)/(20)` as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to
`(9)/(20)` that has a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

`(9)/(20)` =
`(n)/(100)`

Now, we can use cross products to find the missing value.

20n = 900

÷20 ÷20 ← divide by 20 on both sides

n = 45

Therefore,
`(9)/(20)` is equal to
`(45)/(100)` or 45%.
