Question

31/50 as a fraction to percent?

Answer 1

To convert from fraction to percent, one should have a denominator of 100 (there are other ways but this is the easiest for this problem). To make this a fraction with a denominator of 100, we should multiply by the form of one 2/2. 31/50 * 2/2 is 62/100. Since percent means per 100, that means that we can multiply by 100 to figure out how many percent this is (you can only do this if the denominator is 100). 62/100 * 100 is 62, so 31/50 as a percent is 62%. 

Answer 2

$\frac{31}{50}$ is already in fraction form, so we just need to turn the fraction into a percent.

To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. If we wanted to write $\frac{31}{50}$ as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to $\frac{31}{50}$ with a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

Therefore, the fraction $\frac{31}{50}$ is equal to 62%.
