how to change a mixed number like 1 1/5 into a percent?
To turn a fraction into a decimal, take the denominator and slide it to the outside to make a division problem...in this case 1 divided by 5, which equals .20 To turn a decimal into a percent, move the decimal point 2 places to the right and add a percent sign. The 1 is a whole or 100% so 1 1/5 = 120%. Hope this helps!

First, Alec, if you have a question, it is much better to put it in as a separate post in <Post a New Question> rather than attaching it to a previous question, where it is more likely to be overlooked.
I searched Google under the key words "divide fractions" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
Convert the mixed fraction 1
5
to percent.
To change a mixed number like 1 1/5 into a percent, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (5), then add the numerator (1). In this case, 1 multiplied by 5 equals 5, then add 1, giving us 6.
Step 2: Write the improper fraction 6/5 as a decimal. Divide the numerator (6) by the denominator (5). The result is 1.2.
Step 3: To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply it by 100. So, 1.2 multiplied by 100 equals 120.
Therefore, the mixed number 1 1/5 is equivalent to 120% when expressed as a percent.
