The correct Answer is:
To express each of the given fractions as a percentage, we will follow a systematic approach. The general formula to convert a fraction to a percentage is: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Numerator}}{\text{Denominator}} \right) \times 100 \] Let's solve each fraction step by step. ### (i) Convert \( \frac{7}{25} \) to a percentage 1. **Identify the fraction**: \( \frac{7}{25} \) 2. **Multiply by 100**: \[ \frac{7}{25} \times 100 \] 3. **Simplify**: \[ \frac{7 \times 100}{25} = \frac{700}{25} \] 4. **Perform the division**: \[ 700 \div 25 = 28 \] 5. **Conclusion**: \[ \frac{7}{25} = 28\% \] ### (ii) Convert \( \frac{5}{8} \) to a percentage 1. **Identify the fraction**: \( \frac{5}{8} \) 2. **Multiply by 100**: \[ \frac{5}{8} \times 100 \] 3. **Simplify**: \[ \frac{5 \times 100}{8} = \frac{500}{8} \] 4. **Perform the division**: \[ 500 \div 8 = 62.5 \] 5. **Conclusion**: \[ \frac{5}{8} = 62.5\% \] ### (iii) Convert \( \frac{11}{6} \) to a percentage 1. **Identify the fraction**: \( \frac{11}{6} \) 2. **Multiply by 100**: \[ \frac{11}{6} \times 100 \] 3. **Simplify**: \[ \frac{11 \times 100}{6} = \frac{1100}{6} \] 4. **Perform the division**: \[ 1100 \div 6 = 183.33 \text{ (approximately)} \] 5. **Conclusion**: \[ \frac{11}{6} = 183.33\% \] ### Final Answers - \( \frac{7}{25} = 28\% \) - \( \frac{5}{8} = 62.5\% \) - \( \frac{11}{6} = 183.33\% \)
