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.
