Question

If you convert 1 1/4to a percent, whatpercent would it be

Answer 1

We need to convert the fraction:

`1(1)/(4)`

To a percent. The first step is to convert it to an improper fraction, we do that by adding the integer and fractional parts.

`1+(1)/(4)=(4)/(4)+(1)/(4)=(5)/(4)`

A percent is a fraction for which the denominator is equal to 100. So we need to multiply the denominator and numerator by a number that will make the denominator equals to 100.

`(5\cdot25)/(4\cdot25)=(125)/(100)=125\text{ \%}`

The result is 125 %.
