Question

If you get a 50/60 on a test, what percentage is that equal to?

Answer 1

83%

Explanation:

To convert fraction to percents, you have to divide the numerator by the denominator.

So 50 divided by 60 = .833333333333333

Now you have to convert this decimal to a percent by moving the decimal point 2 spaces to the right.

83.333333333%

On tests they usually round percents to the nearest whole percent.

So it would just be 83%
