how do I convert 9/16 into a percent? Is this done differently in a algebric form?
Divide 16 into 9.000, using the normal procedures of long division. This should give you 0.5625; then multiply the decimal by 100.
This isn't algebra, by the way.
To convert a fraction to a percent, you can follow these steps:
1. Divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number).
In this case, divide 9 by 16: 9 ÷ 16 = 0.5625.
2. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
Multiply 0.5625 by 100: 0.5625 × 100 = 56.25%.
Therefore, 9/16 is equivalent to 56.25%.
This method is done arithmetically rather than algebraically. Algebra typically involves solving for variables or manipulating equations, whereas converting fractions to percentages uses basic arithmetic operations.
