Question

write the fraction or mixed number as a percent. (see example 2.)

1. $\frac{1}{10}$
2. $\frac{11}{20}$
3. $\frac{1}{5}$
4. $\frac{3}{250}$
5. $1\frac{17}{20}$
6. $3\frac{1}{200}$

Explanation:

Problem 10: $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{10}}$ as a percent

Step1: Convert fraction to decimal

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. So, $\frac{1}{10} = 1 \div 10 = 0.1$.

Step2: Convert decimal to percent

To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply by 100 (or move the decimal point two places to the right) and add the percent sign. So, $0.1 \times 100 = 10\%$.

Step1: Convert fraction to decimal

Divide the numerator by the denominator: $\frac{11}{20} = 11 \div 20 = 0.55$.

Step2: Convert decimal to percent

Multiply the decimal by 100: $0.55 \times 100 = 55\%$.

Step1: Convert fraction to decimal

$\frac{1}{5} = 1 \div 5 = 0.2$.

Step2: Convert decimal to percent

$0.2 \times 100 = 20\%$.

Answer:

$10\%$
