how to turn 8 5/6 % inot a fraction ?

Question

This is for my daughter and I can't remember how to do it!!!! Please help

Answer 1

8 5/6%

percent means hundredths

(8 5/6)/100

change 8 5/6 into a fraction

8 5/6=53/6

(53/6)/100

multiply both numerator and denominator by 6

(53/6)(6)/(100)(6)

53/600 is the answer

another solution...

(53/6)/100

the fraction bar means "divided by"

(53/6)÷100

dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal

(53/6)÷100=(53/6)*(1/100)=(53*1)/(6*100)=53/600 again
