Converting fractions to percentage

 In this lesson we're going to learn further on converting fractions to percentage.
This lesson will show you where you have to convert fractions into percentage.

Just to keep in mind there are 2 methods to convert fractions into percentages.

1. Multiply with 100/1.
2. Make the denominator 100 by multiplying the number that it can be divided by 100.

1. Our first example is "If a chipmunk scores 6/20 in spelling test, what percentage is this?
You can use one of the methods above.

6 x 5 = 30/20 x 5 = 100
Therefore 30/100 = 3/10 and equals to 30%.

2. Second example is "There are 50 books from overseas. 10 books are from Untied States, 16 books from Germany, and the remainders are from Russia. Change these to percentages.

 10 of 50 are from Untied States,
therefore is 20%,
16 of 50 are from Germany,
therefore is 32%.

Lastly we need to find the remainder. To find the remainder you add all the percentages you found then subtract from 100%.

i.e 20% + 32% = 52%
100% - 52% = 48%.
Therefore 48% of the books are from Russia.

4. Forth and last example is " convert 56/200 into percentage."
Firstly we simplify and the equals 7/25,
secondly we times 4 on the numerator and denominator,

therefore the answer is 28/100 or 28%.
