Question

What is `1/10` as a percent?

Answer 1

Convert it into a decimal `1/10=0.1`

Change a decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100

`0.1=10%`

so `1/10=10%`

Answer 2

`10%`

Explanation:

When we convert a fraction into a percentage, it would be nice if the denominator is `100`, because the numerator would be the percent.

Here's what I mean:

We can multiply the top and the bottom of our fraction by `10` to obtain the equivalent fraction

`1/10 color(blue)(xx 10/10) =10/100`

Since percents are out of `100`, and our denominator is `100`, the numerator is the percent.

`10/100=10%`

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

`10%`

Explanation:

When converting any fraction into percent we simply multiply it by `100%`, (which is equivalent to `1`.

Here are some examples:

`1/2*100%=50%`

`3/4*100%=3*25=75%`

`6/5*100%=6*20=120%`

Thus in this case:

`1/10*100%=10%`
