Question

Convert the following fraction to a decimal and a percentage without using long division.

9/50

Answer 1

Hello Ayssa

We can multiply both numerator and denominators of the fraction by 2;

Our goal is to get a 100 as denominator (percent means a number divided by hundred)

9/50 = 9*2/50*2 = 18/100 =18%

also 18/100 = 0.18

hope that helps
