Answer: 56%

Step-by-step explanation: To write the fraction 28/50 as a percent, remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

So we need to find a fraction that's equivalent

to 28/50 that has a 100 in the denominator.

To do this, we set up a proportion.

So we have 28/50 = n/100.

To find the value of n, we first find the fraction that

is equivalent to 28/50 that has a denominator of 100.

If we multiply both the numerator and denominator of

28/50 by 2, we can see that 28/50 = 56/100.

So 28/50 is equal to 56/100 or 56%.
