#Convert percent to fraction how to

Say, OK, if I have 18%, you should immediately say,Īnything in front of the percent- that's that anything,Įqual to that anything. In a problem, the fast way to do this is to immediately Pain here to show you that this really just comesįrom the word, from percent, from per 100. So we have 18% is the same thingĪs 0.18, which is the same thing, in simplestįorm, as 9/50. And we're going to getġ8 divided by 2 is 9.

So we know they're both divisible by 2, so let's divideīoth the numerator and the denominator by 2. Simplified fraction, we need to see if there is a commonįactor for 18 and 100. You could view this as 1 tenthĪnd 8 hundredths, which is the same thing, or 10 hundredths andĨ hundredths, which is 18 hundredths. Let's do the decimal first, justīecause that's actually what I said I would do first. To a decimal or we could do this fraction in This literally means 18 per 100, orġ8 hundredths. 18 per 100 as a fraction literallyįraction first. Actually, I said I would do theĭecimal first, but we can start putting it into a fractionįirst. Percent, it's only going to be one word, but Hopefully, this made some connections for you and didn't confuse you.Ī fraction in simplest form. But you should also see that 18/100, and we have seen this, is the exact same thing as 18 hundredths, or 0.18. When you put it in simplified form, it's 9/50. Or you could immediately say that 18% as a fraction is 18/100. So if we move the decimal to the left two spaces, one, two, this becomes 0.18. But if you want to express this as a decimal without the percent, you just move the decimal to the left two spaces. I just added a trailing zero there, just so that you see the decimal, really. And another way to think about it, you could view this as 18.0%. But if you ever were to see this in a problem, the fast way to do this is to immediately say, OK, if I have 18%, you should immediately say, anything in front of the percent- that's that anything, whatever this anything is- it should be equal to that anything. Now, I went through a lot of pain here to show you that this really just comes from the word, from percent, from per 100. So we have 18% is the same thing as 0.18, which is the same thing, in simplest form, as 9/50. So this is the fraction in simplest form. And I don't think these guys share any common factors. And we're going to get 18 divided by 2 is 9. So we have 18 divided by 2 over 100 divided by 2.

And they're both even numbers, so we know they're both divisible by 2, so let's divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2. And if we write it as a simplified fraction, we need to see if there is a common factor for 18 and 100. You could view this as 1 tenth and 8 hundredths, which is the same thing, or 10 hundredths and 8 hundredths, which is 18 hundredths.

And we know how to write that in decimal form. Let's do the decimal first, just because that's actually what I said I would do first. From here we can go straight to a decimal or we could do this fraction in simplest form. This literally means 18 per 100, or 18 hundredths. We're literally doing the fraction first. 18 per 100 as a fraction literally means 18/100. Actually, I said I would do the decimal first, but we can start putting it into a fraction first. I'm actually separating out the percent, it's only going to be one word, but I'm writing it as, literally, per cent. So 18% is the same thing as 18 per 100, or 18 per cent. Iv) When the dam operates at capacity, there is a 1-in-140 chance of flooding.0:00 Write 18% as a decimal and as a fraction in simplest form. Iii) Previously, the Corps of Engineers said the chance of widespread flooding was 1-in-4.

Ii) The odds of widespread flooding in the valley improve to 1-in-32 when all the sandbagging and flood-protection efforts are factored in. Army Corps of Engineers, speaking of the repairs to the Green River Dam, reported there was now a 1-in-25 chance that a storm would force the corps to release enough water from the dam’s reservoir to cause a flood downstream in the Green River Valley. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary. Write all four of the odds of flooding as a percent chance. These excerpts are from the story Corps: Dam work lessens Seattle-area flood chance published in the Times-Standard on Nov.
