Question

Rewrite each fraction below as an equivalent fraction and as a percent

1) 5/20
2) 9/25
3) 9/6

Answer 1

1)25%

2)39%

3)150%

Explanation:

We need to write an equivalent fraction for each fraction and write it in the form of percentage

1)
`(5)/(20)`

To obtain an equivalent fraction we multiply the numerator and the denominator with 5

Equivalent fraction =
`(5* 5)/(20* 5) = (25)/(100)`

To convert it to a percentage:

`(5)/(20)* 100\% = 25\%`

2)
`(9)/(25)`

To obtain an equivalent fraction we multiply the numerator and the denominator with 4

Equivalent fraction =
`(9* 4)/(25* 4) = (36)/(100)`

To convert it to a percentage:

`(9)/(25)* 100\% = 36\%`

3)
`(9)/(6)`

To obtain an equivalent fraction we multiply the numerator and the denominator with 5

Equivalent fraction =
`(9* 5)/(6* 5) = (45)/(30)`

To convert it to a percentage:

`(9)/(6)* 100\% = 150\%`

Answer 2

`\bf \cfrac{5}{20}\implies 5/ 20\implies 0.25\implies 0.25* 100\implies 25.00\implies 25\% \\\\\\ \cfrac{9}{25}\implies 9/ 25\implies 0.36\implies 0.36* 100\implies 36.00\implies 36\% \\\\\\ \cfrac{9}{6}\implies 9/ 6\implies 1.50\implies 1.50* 100\implies 150.00\implies 150\%`
