Fraction to Percent | MathHelp.com

This lesson covers the idea of converting a fraction to a percent. Students learn to write percents as fractions and fractions as percents. For example, to write 6% as a fraction, remember that percent means "out of 100", so 6% can be written as the fraction 6/100, which reduces to 3/50. So 6% can be written as the fraction 3/50. To write 7/10 as a percent, set up the proportion 7/10 = x/100, then use cross products to get (7)(100) = (10)(x), or 700 = 10x, and dividing both sides by 10, 70 = x. So 7/10 can be written as 70%.

This was so much help for my 6th grade math

[misooartz]

Why do you have to complicate it. 3 divide by 20 then you should get .15 then move the decimal point 2 spaces to the right to become 15%

[Bxby_Soulja]

im in 6th grade and you guys are probably in college

[missmyahernandez]

TO THOSE UTTERLY CONFUSED; Just multiply 3 and 100, and divide by 20. (I think, how I learned it)

Just do 3 x 100 that equals 300 then divide it by 20 then you get 15%, it's really simple, they just decided to do the complicated way.

I was very confused on this subject, but this video made me understand it!!

[mayap]

I don't understand... What if the denominator doesn't go into 100?

[seanl]

Omg, thank you very much. this is great, I'm subbing!

[Ok-fekt]

Its a shame on how I have on go on YouTube t do math cuz my teacher is lazy.

[stevenzawwin]

whats a n i have never in my life heard of it in math

[sevensupergirls]

idk what n is??? it sounds more confusing

[theendisnear]

What? que? sorry no intendo what how do i?

[finnslayer]

you could've just done 3(5)/20(5) = 15/100 = 15%, there was no point to all that extra work

[silentmoneyxd]

I don't understand 1 word u just said

This method is extremely broken. There are better ways to do this. Try doing 15/21 with this method.
