Conversion of Fraction to Percent
For conversion of fraction to percent, we follow the following steps :
1) Obtain the fraction. Let it be p/q.
2) Multiply the fraction by 100 and put the per cent sign % to obtain the required per cent. Thus, a/b = (a/b x 100) %
OR
Convert the fraction in to decimal and then multiply it by 100.
Express the following fractions as percent :
1) 4/5
Solution :
To write the fraction as percent, multiply that fraction by 100 and then solve it.
4/5
= ( 4/5 x 100 )
= 400/5
= 80 %
2) 9/20
Solution :
To write the fraction as percent, multiply that fraction by 100 and then solve it.
9/20
= ( 9/20 x 100 )
=900/20
= 45%
3) 3 ½
Solution :
To write the fraction as percent, multiply that fraction by 100 and then solve it.
3 ½ = 7/2 ( convert it to improper fraction)
= ( 7/2 x 100 )
= 700/2
= 350 %
4) ¾
Solution :
To write the fraction as percent, multiply that fraction by 100 and then solve it.
3/4
= ( 3/4 x 100 )
= 300/4
= 75 %
5) 1⅗
Solution :
1 ⅗ = 8/5( convert it to improper fraction)
To write the fraction as percent, multiply that fraction by 100 and then solve it.
8/5
= ( 8/5 x 100 )
= 800/5
=160 %
6) 2⅗
Solution :
2 ⅗ = 12/5( convert it to improper fraction)
To write the fraction as percent, multiply that fraction by 100 and then solve it.
12/5
= ( 12/5 x 100 )
= 1200/5
=240 %
