Question

Express the following fraction as percent:
$\frac{65}{80}$ [2 Mark]

Answer 1

Given,
$\frac{65}{80}$

So, $\frac{65}{80}\times 100\%$ (0.5 marks)

$=\frac{65\times 5}{4}$ (0.5 marks)


[Multiply the given fraction by $100$ and at the same time writing the percentage sign]

$=\frac{325}{4}$ (0.5 marks)


$=81\frac{1}{4}\%$ (0.5 marks)


Hence, given fraction in percentage is $81\frac{1}{4}\%$.
