Question

Write the fraction ad a percent: 13/50 (Simplify your answer.)

Answer 1

To write a fraction as a percent, first we must convert it into a decimal.  We do so by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

13/50 = 0.26

Converting a decimal to a percentage is easy.  Because a percentage is out of 100, we multiply the decimal by 100 to get the percent.

0.26 * 100 = 26

Therefore, 13/50 = 26%

Answer 2

To write a fraction as a percent first we have to make the denomanator 100:

13/50 x 2= 26/100

We can now use the numerator as the percentage: 26%
