Question

How do you convert 5 2/3 into a percent and decimal?

Answer 1

In decimal form, it is `5.67`, but that is rounded to the nearest hundredth. In a percent, it is `567%`

Explanation:

You should first change `5 2/3` into an improper fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and add that to the numerator. After doing that, you should get:

`17/3`

You have to divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal, so this in decimal form would be:

`5.67` but once again, that is rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Using this decimal, you can get the percentage by moving the decimal place two spots over to the right, after doing this, you should get:

`567%`
