FRACTIONS AS PERCENTAGES

Every fraction can be turned into a percentage. To convert: divide the numerator by the denominator, then multiply by 100. Key facts: 1/2 = 50%, 1/4 = 25%, 3/4 = 75%, 1/5 = 20%, 1/10 = 10%. These conversions are worth memorising!

1/2 = ?%

11/2 = 50/100 = 50%

= 50

1/4 = ?%

11/4 = 25/100 = 25%

= 25

3/4 = ?%

13/4 = 75/100 = 75%

= 75
