Given:

5/8

Determine the value in percentage.

Solution:

In order to determine the value of the fraction in percentage, equate it first in decimal.

= 5/8

=0.625

Now that we have a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.

=(0.625)(100)

= 62.5%

Final Answer: 5/8 is equal to 62.5%
