Example Question #41 : Fractions And Percentage
Which of the following is larger?
, % or,
%
%
To convert each fraction you must get them to be equivalent to something out of since percents are based on this.
, because you multiply the top and the bottom by .
This makes, equivalent to %.
Then do the same to the other fraction to get:
, which is %
Example Question #31 : How To Find Percentage From A Fraction
What is the percent equivalent of ? Round your answer to the nearest whole percent.
To convert a fraction into a percentage, first convert the fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denomenator. Then, to find the percentage equivalent of a decimal, simply move the decimal (if there is none, remember that there is always an implied decimal after the one's digit) to the right twice:

Example Question #34 : How To Find Percentage From A Fraction
If of a pizza remains after a party, what percent of the pizza was eaten?
31%
68%
0.33%
27%
42%
31%
This problem is merely asking us to convert the eaten fraction of the pizza into a percent. This can be easily solved for by thinking of a whole pizza as being 1. This would mean a whole pizza could be represented by the fraction . Because of the pizza remians, if we subtract this from , we should be able to solve for the fraction of the pizza that was consumed.
Therefore, of the pizza was eaten. This is the fraction we must convert into a percent. In order to do so, we must first convert this into a decimal. As a decimal we can multiply by , which will yield our percent value.
Therefore, 31% of the pizza was eaten.
Example Question #35 : How To Find Percentage From A Fraction
If of pie has been eaten, what percent of the pie remains?
43%
Not enough information
63%
57%
52%
57%
This problem is merely asking us to convert the remaining fraction of the pie into a percent. This can be easily solved for by thinking of a whole pie as being 1. This would mean a whole pie could be represented by the fraction . Because of the pie has been consumed, if we subtract this from , we should be able to solve for the fraction of the pie that is left over.
Therefore, of the pie remains. This is the fraction we must convert into a percent. In order to do so, we must first convert this into a decimal. As a decimal we can multiply by , which will yield our percent value.
Therefore, 57% of the pie remains.
Example Question #36 : How To Find Percentage From A Fraction
What is the percent equivalent of ? Round your answer to the nearest whole percent.
To convert a fraction into a percentage, first convert the fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
Then, to find the percentage equivalent of a decimal, simply move the decimal (if there is none, remember that there is always an implied decimal after the one's digit) to the right twice. In other words multiply the decimal by one hundred.
Don't forget to round your answer.
Thus, the answer is:

Example Question #38 : How To Find Percentage From A Fraction
Write the following fraction as a percent:
To write as a percent, we simply multiply it by 100.
We get
and we can simplify the 5 and the 100, leaving us with
When we multiply, we get
Therefore, written as a percent is 80%.
Example Question #39 : How To Find Percentage From A Fraction
You have 22 olives and you eat 5 of them. The fraction of olives you ate was . Convert the fraction of olives you ate to a percentage.
To convert the fraction to a percentage, first we need to convert it to a decimal. We need to get the denominator to be equal to . Or,
What can we mulitiply by to get ? We can find this by dividing by ,
We can then multiply this value by the numerator to find the percentage,
We can do this quickly by solving the following equation for ,
This can be done by multiplying both sides by ,
As long as we do the same thing to both sides of the equation we are still OK. Now we can find :
Because this value is what we use to divide by it is the percent so
