Changing fractions to percentages

 In this lesson we're going to learn converting fractions to percentages.
Converting fractions to percentages are important as converting percentages to fractions.

 There's an simple way to convert fractions to percentage.
to convert any fractions into percentage, multiply the fractions by 100% / 1.

 1. Our first example is " Convert 12/20 to a percentage."
  12/20 x 100/1.                    We multiply 12/20 by 100% /1.
                                                              
  12/20 x 100/1                                        Before we multiply,
 = 12/1 x 5/1                                         we find is there any number that it can be simplified.
 = 60/1                                                  we found 20 and 100.
 i.e 60%.                                               100 can be divided by 20 therefore 100 divided by 20 is 5.

2. Second example is " Express 4/5 as a percentage."
In this example I'm going to show you another method to convert fractions to percentages.

We know that 5 times 20 equals 100 so we times 20 on numerator and denominator.
4 x 20 / 5 x 20 = 80/100 = 80%.
Therefore the answer is 80%.

3. Third and last example is " Express 5 2/3 as a percentage."

We multiply with 100% /1 this time.

5 /2/3 x 100/1 = 17/3 x 100/1 = 1700/3 = 566%.
Therefore the answer is 566%.

*If you're doing the same method on example 2, make sure that the denominator must be 100.
