Percentages, Fractions, and Decimal Values

Percentages are defined as a fraction or portion of a whole. Generally percentages deal with an amount out of one hundred but can be used in sales, economics, and science. If you've walked into any store you're sure to find something marked a certain percent off. Fractions are not whole numbers with a numerator over a denominator. Usually the numerator and denominator are expressed as integers. There are four types of fractions: simple fractions, complex fractions, mixed fractions, and improper fractions. Decimals are also not integers. They are expressed often like 0.34 and are often rounded off since some go for too long. Both decimals and fractions are also used to convert to percentages.

What is 8 divided by one-sixth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

8 divide 1/6

This is division of fractions.

For division of fractions, remember the rule ' CHANGE THE SIGN TO 'MULTIPLY;' AND INVER (TURN OVER) THER RIGHT HAND FRACTION. Then proceed as for multiplication.

Hence

8 / ( 1/6) = 8 X 6/1 = 48/1 = 48

What this means is , that in one unit there are 6 #1/6#/

1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 6/6 = 1

So in 8 units 48 of '1/6's/.

Asked by Wiki User

A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. So the required decimal representation is 86, exactly as in the question.

What is 0.66 as a fraction and percentage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

0.66 is a fraction. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction. Its rational equivalent is 66/100 which can be simplified, if required. As a percentage, it is 66% and one reason not to simplify the rational form is that the conversion to percentage is so much simpler if it is left with the denominator as 100.

Why 75 percent is called star mark?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

80 out of 100 in the HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) examination is the minimum percentage to get the Star marks in HSLC (High School Leaving Certificate).

When you like to get star marks, it is necessary to attempt on the 80% out of 100 % in subjects. 95% is exceptional. 70% and above is Distinction.

60% and above but below 70% is First class.

50% and above but below 60% is Second Class.

40% and above but below 50% is Pass Class and Below 40% is Fail.

What is 10.121212 as a fraction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As written it is a terminating decimal

10.121212 As a fraction it is ' 10 121212/1000000 =

'10 60606/1000000' =

'10 30303/ 500000'

Done!!!

However, if 10.121212 is a repeating to infinity decimal it should be written as '10.121212... ' (Note the dots).

So convert to a fraction

Let

P = 10.121212....

100P = 1012.121212....

Subtract

99P = 1002 ( Note the repeating decimals subtract to zero).

Hence

99P = 1002

P = 1002 / 99

P = 10 12/99

P = 10 4/33 The answer!!!!!

How do you write 8.3 as an improper fraction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First convert 8.3 to a fraction

  1. 3 = 8 3/10

To convert 8 3/10 to an Improper Fraction. , multply the doeffieicnt '8' to '10' , Hence 80 Add '3' to '80' = 83

Place over the denominator of '10'

Hence 83/10 is the Improper Fraction.

NB Many people use the expression 'top heavy fraction' , but that is incorrect. It is correctly named as an 'IMPROPER FRACTION'.
