Possible Answers:

$46\%$

$16\%$

$32\%$

$80\%$

$40\%$

Correct answer:

$80\%$

Explanation:

To find the equivalent percent of $\frac{16}{20}$ divide the numerator by the denominator:

$16\div20=0.8$

Now, multiply the decimal number by 100 :

$0.8\times100=80\%$

Example Question #42 : Fractions

Find the decimal equivalent to $\frac{10}{8}$

Possible Answers:

0.75

1.25

2.25

0.8

1.75

Correct answer:

1.25

Explanation:

To find the decimal equivalent to $\frac{10}{8}$ divide the numerator by the denominator:

$10\div8=1.25$

$\frac{10}{8}$ is an improper fraction which means that the fraction is larger than one whole. An alternative way to solve this problem is to:

$\frac{10}{8}-\frac{8}{8}=\frac{2}{8}$

$1 +\frac{2}{8}=\frac{10}{8}$

$2\div8=0.25$

Thus,

$1+0.25=\frac{10}{8}$

$1.25=\frac{10}{8}$

Example Question #46 : Fractions

What is $\frac{9}{10}$ as a decimal?

Possible Answers:

0.9

0.090

9.0

0.009

Correct answer:

0.9

Explanation:

To convert fractions into decimals, you want to have a fraction whose denominator is either 1, 10, 100 , or another number that starts with and ends in s.

Take the number in the numerator and move the decimal point to the left as many times as there are s in the denominator.

For the given fraction, we have in the denominator, so we will move the decimal one place to the left.

$9\rightarrow0.9$

Example Question #47 : Fractions

What is $\frac{31}{40}$ as a decimal?

Possible Answers:

0.575

0.875

0.775

0.675

Correct answer:

0.775

Explanation:

To convert fractions into decimals, you want to have a fraction whose denominator is either 1, 10, 100 , or another number that starts with and ends in s.

Take the number in the numerator and move the decimal point to the left as many times as there are s in the denominator.

Start by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by .

$\frac{31}{40}=\frac{775}{1000}$

Since 1000 has zeroes, we will need to move the decimal point three spaces to the left.

$775\rightarrow0.775$
