Question

1 21/50 as a percent

Answer 1

First, you can convert the fraction from mixed to improper to like this

`1(21)/(50)=(1\cdot50+21)/(50)=(50+21)/(50)=(71)/(50)`

Now the fraction seen as a decimal is

`1(21)/(50)=(71)/(50)=1.42`

Finally, to convert decimal to percent move the decimal point to the right 2 places

`1.42\Leftrightarrow142\text{\%}`
