write the following number as a percent.
6 1/2
1/2 = 50%
6 = 600%
650% = 6 1/2
what if 3 2/5???
should I change the mixed number to a improper fraction by multipling the 3x5=15 then add 15+2=17, then 17/5 as the improper fraction. Then convert 17/5 = ?/100, divide 5 into 100 =20. then multiply 17x20=340.
So the percent is 340%?
Yes. You're right.
oh thank you very much!!!
You're very welcome.
To write the number 6 1/2 as a percent, you need to convert it into decimal form first.
To convert a mixed number like 6 1/2 into decimal form, you can multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and add the numerator. Then, divide that sum by the denominator.
In this case, the whole number is 6, the numerator is 1, and the denominator is 2.
So, you multiply 6 by 2, which equals 12. Then, add the numerator 1 to get 13.
Next, you divide 13 by the denominator 2, which gives you 6.5.
Now that you have the decimal form of 6 1/2, you can convert it into a percentage.
To convert a decimal into a percentage, you multiply it by 100.
Therefore, 6.5 multiplied by 100 equals 650.
Hence, 6 1/2 can be written as 650%.
