Question #57613

Answer 1

`66.67%`

Explanation:

`66.67%` is the result from the fraction or the ratio of

`(8/12 xx 100)%.`

Answer 2

`66 2/3%`

Explanation:

The question is probably understood easier if it is asked as:

"What percent is `8 " out of " 12`"

This can be regarded as a mark on a short test, or as a fraction of something.

For example, `8` boys out of `12`boys on the team played last year.

To find the percent:

`color(red)("fraction" xx 100%)`

`8/12 xx 100% = 66.66666.....%`

`=66 2/3%`

(It is more accurate to give a fraction of a percent than to round off the recurring decimal.)
