To convert a fraction to a percent, first convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction, then divide the numerator by the denominator to get a decimal, and finally multiply the result by 100. This gives the equivalent percentage of the fraction.
Convert the Fraction 1 9/1000 into Percent.
Method 1: Convert Fraction to Percent Directly
Step 1: Convert the mixed fraction \(1 \frac{9}{1000}\) to an improper fraction.
\(1 \frac{9}{1000} = \frac{1000 + 9}{1000} = \frac{1009}{1000}\)
Step 2: Divide the numerator (1009) by the denominator (1000).
1009 ÷ 1000 = 1.009
Step 3: Multiply the result by 100 to convert to a percentage.
1.009 × 100 ≈ 100.9%
So, \(1 \frac{9}{1000}\) as a percent is approximately 100.9%.
Method 2: Convert Fraction to Decimal and Percent
Step 1: First, convert the mixed fraction to a decimal.
1 + \( \frac{9}{1000} \) = 1 + 0.009 = 1.009
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by 100 to get the percentage.
1.009 × 100 ≈ 100.9
Step 3: Add a percent sign (%) to the result.
The final result is approximately 100.9%.
Method 3: Use Proportions to Find Percent
Step 1: Set up a proportion where \(1 \frac{9}{1000}\) is equal to x/100.
\(\frac{1009}{1000} = \frac{x}{100}\)
Step 2: Cross-multiply to solve for x.
1009 × 100 = 1000 × x
100900 = 1000x
Step 3: Divide both sides by 1000 to solve for x.
x = 100900 ÷ 1000 = 100.9
So, \(1 \frac{9}{1000}\) as a percent is approximately 100.9%.
