$\frac{7}{9} \times 100\%$

Answer 2

Hey there !

Solution:

For any number in fraction, it can be converted into a percentage if it is multiplied by 100 and adding % this symbol to the final answer.

E.g. Let the fraction be a divided by b. Then the percentage can be given as:

$\text{ Given Fraction} = \dfrac{a}{b} \\ \\ \text{ Multiplying by 100 we get,} \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{a}{b} \times 100 = \dfrac{ 100 \: a }{b} \%$

For this question, Fraction is 7 divided by 9. Hence the percentage is:

$\implies \dfrac{7}{9} \times 100 \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{ 700 }{9} = 77.78 \: \%$

Hence 77.78 % is the required answer.

Hope my answer helped !
