Example Question #2 : How To Find The Decimal Equivalent Of A Fraction

What is 75% written as a fraction?

Possible Answers:

$\dpi{100} \small \frac{3}{4}$

$\dpi{100} \small \frac{1}{75}$

$\dpi{100} \small \frac{7}{8}$

$\dpi{100} \small \frac{5}{7}$

$\dpi{100} \small \frac{7}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\dpi{100} \small \frac{3}{4}$

Explanation:

Let's rewrite 75% as a fraction.

All percents are written out of 100.

So 75% is

75/100.

This fraction can be simplified.

If we divide both the numerator and denominator by 25,

75 ÷ 25 = 3

100 ÷ 25 = 4

Our simplified fraction will be written as

$\dpi{100} \small \frac{3}{4}$

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Decimal Equivalent Of A Fraction

Which number is largest?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Thinking about these numbers as fractions, we have

$\frac{9}{10}$ , $\frac{8}{10}$ , $\frac{1}{100}$ , $\frac{1}{10,000}$ , and $\frac{9}{1000}$ .

The larger the number in the denominator is, the smaller the value of the total fraction. However, between $\frac{8}{10}$ and $\frac{9}{10}$ , the larger numerator is the bigger number. Therefore, the correct answer is .9.

Show $\small 0.5$ as a fraction.

Possible Answers:

$\small \frac{3}{4}$

$\small \frac{2}{8}$

$\small \frac{1}{2}$

$\small \frac{1}{4}$

$\small \frac{1}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\small \frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

First we rewrite $\small 0.5$ as a fraction. Since $\small 5$ is in the tenths place, we can write it over $\small 10.$

$\small \frac{5}{10}$

This can be simplified by dividing the top and bottom number by $\small 5$ .

$\small \frac{\left ( 5\div 5 \right )}{\left ( 10\div 5 \right )}$ $\small = \frac{1}{2}$
