Answer: 0.54166666666667 x 100 = 54.1667%

Explanation:

Before we get started in the fraction to percentage conversion, let's go over some very quick fraction basics. Remember that a numerator is the number above the fraction line, and the denominator is the number below the fraction line.

When we are using percentages, what we are really saying is that the percentage is a fraction of 100. "Percent" means per hundred, and so 50% is the same as saying 50/100 or 5/10 in fraction form.

So, since our denominator in 13/24 is 24, we could adjust the fraction to make the denominator 100. To do that, we divide 100 by the denominator:

100 divided by 24 = 4.1666666666667

Once we have that, we can multiple both the numerator and denominator by this multiple:

13 times 4.1666666666667 over 24 times 4.1666666666667, equals 54.1666666666667 over a hundred.

Now we can see that our fraction is 54.166666666667/100, which means that 13/24 as a percentage is 54.1667%.

We can also work this out in a simpler way by first converting the fraction 13/24 to a decimal. To do that, we simply divide the numerator by the denominator:

13/24 = 0.54166666666667

Once we have the answer to that division, we can multiply the answer by 100 to make it a percentage:

0.54166666666667 x 100 = 54.1667%

Hope this helps ^^
