20/36 changed into a percentage and how to do it?

You just multiply it by 100:

100 x 20/36

= 2000/36

= 55.55%

Here's how you do it without a calculator.

First, you need to figure out what it is in decimal form.


........0.55555...
36 | 20
.......-0
.....-----
......200
.....-180
.....--------
........200
.......-180

..........200
.........-180

............200
...........-180

..............200
.............-180
.............-------
................200 <= notice that it keeps repeating

......................_
20.36 = 0.55555

To convert the decimal to a percentage:
1. Take the decimal value: 0.55555...

2. Multiply by 100: 0.55555... * 100 = 55.5555...
(HINT: Remember that per cent literally means "per 100")
(HINT: Multiplying by 100 moves the decimal point 2 places to the RIGHT)

3. Round this up to the nearest hundredths place, tenths place, or whole number if needed.

Rounded to the nearest hundredths place: 55.56
Rounded to the nearest tenths place: 55.6
Rounded to the nearest whole number: 56

3. Add the % sign:
55.56% (when rounded to the nearest hundredths place)
55.6% (when rounded to the nearest tenths place)
56% (when rounded to the nearest whole number)

ANSWER: 20/36 = 55.56%

Hope this helped!

20/36 = 20/36 x 100 % = 5/9 x 100% = 500/9% = 55.55%

20/36 x 100%
= 2000/36 %
= 500/9 %
= 55 5/9 %

Just divide the 20 (numerator) by the 36 (denominator)

.55555 repeating

Then move the decimal point 2 spaces to the right to make it 55.55556%

50% would be 18/36, so 20/36 would be a little more than 50%.

Another way with reducing:
20/36 = 5/9
5/9 = .55555 = 55.556%

20/36= 0.56

20 divided by 36 =

divide 20 by 36 = 55.55%

20 divided by 36 = 0.55555555...
0.55555555... = 55.55555...%

Mark, I'm sorry to tell you, but there is no "20" key on my calculator. And the "36" key is missing also.

Divide.

Put the following into a calculator
Type: "20"
Press the division sign
Type "36"
Press the equal sign

TA-DA!
