Answer (1)
To convert fractions into percentages, you need to multiply the fraction by 100. This is because percentages are essentially a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100.
Let's convert each of the given fractions:
100 22 :
You can multiply the fraction by 100 to find the percentage:
( 100 22 ) × 100 = 22%
So, 100 22 is 22%.
4 3 :
To convert this fraction into a percentage, multiply by 100:
( 4 3 ) × 100 = 75%
Therefore, 4 3 is 75%.
24 28 :
First, simplify the fraction if possible. 24 28 simplifies to 6 7 because both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 4:
( 24 28 ) = ( 6 7 )
Now convert 6 7 into a percentage:
( 6 7 ) × 100 ≈ 116.67%
Thus, 24 28 is approximately 116.67%.
These steps show how you can convert any fraction into a percentage by multiplying by 100. Make sure to simplify the fraction first if possible, to make the conversion easier and more accurate.
