What is 5/8 as a percent and a decimal

Mathematics

Makovka662 [10]4 years ago
6 0

To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. If we want to write 5/8 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 5/8 that has a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

\frac{5}{8} = \frac{n}{100}

<h3 /><h3>8n = 500</h3><h3>÷8     ÷8</h3><h3>    n = 62.5%</h3><h3>Therefore, 5/8 is equal to 62.5%.</h3><h3 />

To write a fraction as a decimal, we can simply divide the numerator by the denominator.

5 ÷ 8 = 0.625

Therefore, 5/8 is equal to 0.625.

jamaal spent x minutes today practicing his guitar and y minutes today on homework. If the total time he spent on both is 45 min
Snezhnost [94]
Hi there!

The time Jamaal spends in practicing the guitar is represented by X.
The time he works in his homework is represented by Y.

The sum of both numbers must be bigger than 45 (minutes). Therefore, we can set up the following inequality:

x + y  \geqslant 45

The sum of both equals or is bigger than 45 minutes.

To find the time Jamaal spends on practicing the guitar (which was represented by X), we must subtract the time he does his homework (which was represented by Y) from both sides.


x \geqslant 45 - y

The time Jamaal spends practicing the guitar is equal to or bigger than 45 minutes minus the time he spends on his homework.
