How Do You Find Percentages of Fractions?
Typically, fractions are identified by two numbers written on either side of an oblique. The number written on the upper (top) side is known as the numerator, and the one written below is the denominator. The denominator shows the number of parts comprising a whole unit or value. The numerator represents number of those parts that are present in the value. For example, the fraction 4/7 represents the 7 parts forming one whole unit and this particular value has four parts of the unit.
If you wanted to calculate the percentage of this fraction, we need to know how to do the decimal conversion of the percentage and how to multiply decimal form by a fraction. We divide the given percentage value by 100 to get the decimal form. For example, for finding 20 percentage of 5/7, we will first divide 20 by 100 to have 0.2 then, we will multiply the decimal value by the numerator of your fraction. For this example, multiply 0.2 by 5 to have 1. Now, substitute the obtained result over the denominator. For this example, we will put 1 over 7 to get 1/7 equals 20 percent of 5/7.
You can also convert values between fractions and percentages by just understanding the basic composition of these values. We already broke down the concept of a fraction. The middle form of notation decimals are just a method of stating a value based on parts of tens. So, if we had a fraction such as 4/7 and wanted to restate it as a decimal, we would just divide the numerator by the denominator. This would translate to 0.57 (rounded to the nearest hundredth). So, to convert a fraction to a decimal we just divide. If you need to go back, just place that value over the decimal places that presented by it. In this case (0.57), 57 is represented to the hundreds place or 57/100.
