Question

What part of 5 and 3/4 is 7/10?

Answer 1

Answer:

7/10 is approximately 12.17% of 5 3/4.

To solve this, you'd first convert each value into a decimal.

7/10 - 0.70

5 3/4 - 5.75

Look at each value as a whole number. For example, if you wanted to find 3 of 8, you'd solve 3/8. The same principle applies here. If you were to type this into your calculator, you'd get 0.12173913043.

Next, convert the decimal (your quotient) into a percentage.

Remember, to convert a decimal to a percent, you have to multiply it by one hundred. So, .12173913043 would be 12.173913043.

After you convert, you can round to the nearest hundredth- that would give you 12.17%.

Check your answer:

To do this, you could multiply 5.75 by 12.17%, which would give you 6.99775.

You could then take this value and round it to 7.
