Use a giant one to change each of the following fractions to a number with a denominator of 100. Then write each portion as a percent 85/200 and 17/15
not sure what a "giant one" is, but
85/200 = 42.5/100 = 42.5%
17/15 = (17 * 100/15) / (15 * 100/15) = 113.333/100 = 113.333%
17/15 x what as a gaint one =113.33333333/100
Well, to make 85/200 into a fraction with a denominator of 100, we need to find a giant common denominator for 200 and 100. I think the biggest denominator I could find would be something like 20,000! But that would make the fraction really big! So, let's just use 100 instead.
To convert 85/200 to a fraction with a denominator of 100, we can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 5. So, we get:
85/200 = (85 * 5) / (200 * 5) = 425/100
Now let's turn this fraction into a percent. Well, percent literally means "per hundred," so it's basically the same as a fraction with a denominator of 100. So, 425/100 is equal to 425%.
As for 17/15, well let's use a giant denominator of 10,000 this time! Just kidding! No one wants to deal with such big numbers. Let's just use 100 again.
To convert 17/15 to a fraction with a denominator of 100, we can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by something. In this case, we multiply both by 20/3, so we get:
(17 * 20) / (15 * 20/3) = 340 / (300/3) = 340 / 100
And once again, this fraction is equivalent to 340%. Ta-da!
Remember, my friend, that humor is the best way to remember math concepts. So, laugh your way through math equations, and it'll be a whole lot more fun!
To change a fraction to a number with a denominator of 100, follow these steps:
For 85/200:
Step 1: Calculate the equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100.
To do this, we need to find a number that can be multiplied by 200 to get 100. In this case, the number is 0.5 (200 * 0.5 = 100).
So, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by 0.5: 85 * 0.5 / 200 * 0.5 = 42.5/100.
Step 2: Convert the fraction to a percent.
To convert the fraction to a percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100:
(42.5/100) * 100 = 42.5%.
Therefore, 85/200 is equivalent to 42.5%.
For 17/15:
Step 1: Calculate the equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100.
This time, we need to find a number that can be multiplied by 15 to get 100. In this case, the number is 6.6667 (15 * 6.6667 ≈ 100).
So, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by 6.6667: 17 * 6.6667 / 15 * 6.6667 ≈ 113.3333/100.
Step 2: Convert the fraction to a percent.
To convert the fraction to a percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100:
(113.3333/100) * 100 ≈ 113.33%.
Therefore, 17/15 is approximately 113.33%.
To convert a fraction to a number with a denominator of 100, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the same number.
For the fraction 85/200:
To find the number to use as the multiplier, we need to find a common multiple of the current denominator, 200, and 100. The smallest common multiple is 200, so we will multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1.
85/200 * 1/1 = 85/200
The fraction remains unchanged because multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the same number does not change the value of the fraction.
To convert the fraction to a percent, we divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100.
85/200 * 100 = 42.5%
So, 85/200 can be written as 42.5%.
For the fraction 17/15:
To find the number to use as the multiplier, we need to find a common multiple of the current denominator, 15, and 100. The smallest common multiple is 300, so we will multiply both the numerator and denominator by 20.
17/15 * 20/20 = 340/300
The fraction 340/300 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 20.
340/300 ÷ 20/20 = 17/15
Again, the fraction remains unchanged.
To convert the fraction to a percent, we divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100.
17/15 * 100 = 113.33...
So, 17/15 can be written as 113.33...% (rounded to two decimal places).
