## Practice Quiz on Converting Fraction to Percent

After learning converting fraction to percent, let’s practice by answering the following questions. There are different methods in converting fraction to percent. One method is to convert the fraction to decimal first, then multiply by the result by 100. However, in the solutions below, we will mostly use equivalent fractions. That is, since we want a% means a/100, we will convert the fraction to its equivalent fraction with denominator 100. We can do this by multiplying the numerator and the denominator  by the same number.

Practice Quiz: Converting Fraction to Percent

1.) 3/4

2.) 5/8

3) 9/10

4.) 1/4

5.) 7/10

6.) 3/5

7.) 3/8

8.) 7/20

9.) 1/5

10.) 7/50

1). We can make 3/4 as 100 by multiplying the denominator by 25. In effect,

$\displaystyle \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 25}{4 \times 25} = \frac{75}{100}$.

Therefore, 3/4 is equal to 75%.

2.) What number should we multiply to 8 to get 100? That is, 100/8 or 12.5.

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{8} = \frac{5 \times 12.5}{8 \times 12.5} = \frac{62.5}{100}$.

Therefore, 5/8 is equal to 62.5%.

3.) This is a bit easy. What will you multiply to 10 to get 100? Of course, it’s 10.  So,

$\displaystyle \frac{9}{10} = \frac{9 \times 10}{10 \times 10} = \frac{90}{100}$.

Therefore, 9/10 is equal to 90%.

4.) What should you multiply by 4 to get 100? It’s 25.

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 25}{4 \times 25} = \frac{25}{100}$

So, 1/4 is equal to 25%.

5.) To make the denominator 100, we should multiply by 10 (similar to number 3). So,

$\displaystyle \frac{7}{10} = \frac{7 \times 10}{10 \times 10} = \frac{70}{100}$.

So, 7/10 is equal to 70%.

6.) What should we multiply by 5 to get 100? It’s 20. So,

$\displaystyle \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 20}{5 \times 20} = \frac{60}{100}$

So, 3/5 is equal to 60%.

7.) As discussed in number 2, we should multiply 8 by 12.5 in order to get 100. Therefore,

$\displaystyle \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3 \times 12.5}{8 \times 12.5} = \frac{37.5}{100}$.

So, 3/8 is equal to 37.5%.

8.) What should be multiplied by 20 to get 100? It’s 5. So,

$\displaystyle \frac{7}{20} = \frac{7 \times 5}{20 \times 5} = \frac{35}{100}$.

So, 7/20 is equal to 35%.

9.) What should be multiplied by 5 to get 100? It’s 20. So,

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1 \times 20}{5 \times 20} = \frac{20}{100}$

Therefore, 1/5 is equal to 20%.

10. What should be multiplied by 50 to get 100? It’s 2. So,

$\displaystyle \frac{7}{50} = \frac{7 \times 2}{50 \times 2} = \frac{14}{100}$.

So, 7/50 is equal to 14%.
