Question

Convert the follwing fractions to percentage
a. 1/3
b.1/8
c. 5/8
d. 1/12
e. 5/12​

Answer 1

According to the given question, we have to convert the given fraction into a percentage,

For converting the fraction into percentage we need to divide the numerator and the denominator and then the result is multiplied by the $100,$

The value of percentage is denoted as $%$$\%$ sign,

Given that:-

$(a)\frac{1}{3}$

For converting the fraction into a percentage,

Divide numerator and denominator,

$=>\frac{1}{3}\times 100$

Now, multiply it by 100,

$=>0.33\times100$

$=>33.33\%$

Hence, the required value is $33.33\%$

$(b)\frac{1}{8}$

For converting the fraction into a percentage,

Divide numerator and denominator,

$=>\frac{1}{8}\times 100$

Now, multiply it by 100,

$=>0.125\times100$

$=>12.5\%$

Hence, the required value is $12.5\%$

$(c)\frac{5}{8}$

For converting the fraction into a percentage,

Divide numerator and denominator,

$=>\frac{5}{8}\times 100$

Now, multiply it by 100,

$=>0.625\times100$

$=>62.5\%$

Hence, the required value is $62.5\%$

$(d)\frac{1}{2}$

For converting the fraction into a percentage,

Divide numerator and denominator,

$=>\frac{1}{2}\times 100$

Now, multiply it by 100,

$=>0.5\times100$

$=>50\%$

Hence, the required value is $50\%$

$(e)\frac{5}{12}$

For converting the fraction into a percentage,

Divide numerator and denominator,

$=>\frac{5}{12}\times 100$

Now, multiply it by 100,

$=>0.41\times100$

$=>41\%$

Hence, the required value is $41\%$

Answer 2

Answer:

In the given question we are asked to convert the following fractions into percentage

• To convert fractions into percentage we need to divide numerator by denominator of the fraction and then multiply the obtained answer by 100.

a.  1/3

$(\frac{1}{3} )\times 100$  = 0.3333 x 100 = 33.33%

hence , 33.33% is the required percentage.

b. 1/8

$(\frac{1}{8} )\times 100$ = 0.125 x 100 = 12.5%

hence , 12.5% is the required percentage.

c. 5/8

$(\frac{5}{8} )\times 100$ = 0.625 x 100 = 6.25%

hence , 6.25% is the required percentage.

d. 1/12

$(\frac{1}{12}) \times100$ = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3%

hence , 8.3% is the required percentage.

e. 5/12​

$(\frac{5}{12}) \times 100$ = 0.416 x 100 = 41.6 %

hence , 41.6% is the required percentage.
