Question

How do you convert 99/44 into a percent and decimal?

Answer 1

`99/44=225%=2.25`

Explanation:

Any fraction `a/b` can be written into a percent as `a/bxx100%`

As such `99/44=99/44xx100%`

= `(cancel99^9)/(cancel44^4)xx100%` - dividing by `11`

= `9/(cancel4^1)xxcancel100^25%` - dividing by `4`

= `225%`

Further it is evident from above that `99/44=9/4`

and to convert it into decimal, we should either perform a long division or make the denominator a power of `10`. Here we see that `4xx25=100`, hence

`99/44=9/4=(9xx25)/(4xx25)=225/100=2.25`
