It helps you narrow down to a smaller answer for example there is pi, (3.14159265359) and there is more and more to that number. It is now estimated to 3.14 because it would be almost impossible to work with pi if it wasn't estimated

26 out of the 65 magazines at the bookstore are women's magazines. What percentage of the magazines at the bookstore are women's

egoroff_w [7]

The fraction $\frac{26}{64}$ represents the number of women's magazines out of all the other magazines at the book store.

To find what percent of the magazines are women's magazines, we can turn $\frac{26}{64}$ into a percent.

To write a fraction as a percent in lowest terms, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100 so to write 26/64 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 26/64 with 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

40% is the answer
