Question

Convert 3/20 to a percent

Answer 1

To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. If we want to convert $\frac{3}{20}$ to a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to $\frac{3}{20}$ that has a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

$\frac{3}{20}$ = $\frac{n}{100}$

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

3 × 100 = 300

20 × n = 20n

300 = 20n ← Divide both sides by 20.

15 = n

Therefore, $\frac{3}{20}$ as a percent would be 15%.

Answer 2

Answer: 15% , you divide the Numerator by the Denominator and you will get a decimal of . 15 then you multiply that by 100 and you will get your percentage which in this case is 15%
