Question

Express each fraction or mixed number as a percent

Five eighths two and four sevenths

Answer 1

So,

#1:
`(5)/(8)`

We know that
`(1)/(8)` = 0.125, or 12.5%.
Therefore, we just have to multiply 12.5% by 5 to get
`(5)/(8)` in percent form.

12.5(5) = 62.5


`(5)/(8)` as a percent is 62.5%.


#2:
`2 (4)/(7)`


`2 (4)/(7) = 200%` +
`(4)/(7)`

4/7 rounded to the nearest thousandth is 0.5714, or 57.14%.

200% + 57.14% = 257.14%
