Fractions, decimals, and percents are three ways to show parts of a whole. We want to write a fraction as a decimal and as a percent. Let's do these things one at a time.
We found a pattern in the given quotient!
13÷ 9 = 1.444...
We can write this repeating pattern as 1.4.
13÷ 9 = 1.4
We found that 139 expressed as a decimal is 1.4.
Percent
To write a fraction as a percent, we can use the equivalent decimal. To write a decimal as a percent, we multiply by 100 and add the percent symbol %.
We found that 1.4 expressed as a percent is 144.4 %.
