Example Question #471 : Numbers And Operations

What is the percent equivalent of ?  Round your answer to the nearest whole percent.

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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.  Don't forget to round your answer.  

The best answer is:

Example Question #474 : Numbers And Operations

Convert this fraction to a decimal: 

 

(round to three decimals)

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To convert to a decimal, you must get the denominator to equal .  

Since 

, you must also multiple  by this.  

This results in a value of  and you move the decimal over two spaces to the left by dividing by  leaving you with .

Another approach is to set up the following long division.

by adding a zero we now can figure how many times seven goes into fourty.

    

 

    

    

 

Example Question #74 : Fractions

What is the decimal equivalent for the fraction ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the decimal equivalent of a fraction, the method is to divide the numerator (the top number in a fraction that represents a part) by the denominator, (the bottom number of a fraction that represents the whole).

In this case, before dividing, you can reduce the fraction to simplest form, which if you divided the numerator and denominator by 3 (the greatest common factor), the fraction would be

 

To get the decimal equivalent you would divide 1 by 5.

You would need to first add a decimal point after the 1 and annex two zeroes:

By long division this is,

     

 

          

Example Question #471 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement

In simplest form, which fraction is equivalent to 0.25?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Although  is the fraction equivalent for 0.25 or twenty-five hundredths, the question is asking you to simplify the fraction.  

This is done by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 25,

.

Therefore,  is the fraction equivalent of 0.25 in simplest form.
