Question

What is 1/3 in a percent

Answer 1

100=3x
100/3= 33.3%

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation: Since a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100, we first find a fraction that's equivalent to 1/3 that has a 100 in the denominator.

To do this, we set up a proportion.

$\frac{1}{3} = \frac{n}{100}$

Now, we can use cross products to find the missing value in this proportion.

100 = 3n

÷3     ÷3

33.3 repeating = n

So we can write the fraction 1/3 as 33.3 repeating percent.
