Write each fraction as a percent.
$\frac{2}{11}$

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand that to convert a fraction to a percent, you first convert the fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
2. Divide 2 by 11 to get the decimal equivalent: $\frac{2}{11}=\; ?$ (do not calculate the exact decimal here, just set up the division).
3. Once you have the decimal form, multiply it by 100 to convert it to a percent: $\backslash text\{Decimal\}\; \backslash times\; 100\; =\; \backslash text\{Percent\}$.
4. Add the percent symbol (%) to the result to indicate that it is a percentage.
5. Summarize the process: fraction → decimal (by division) → multiply by 100 → add % symbol.

Key Concepts

Fraction to Decimal Conversion

Converting a fraction to a decimal involves dividing the numerator by the denominator. For example, to convert 2/11, divide 2 by 11 to get a decimal value, which is the first step toward expressing the fraction as a percent.

Decimal to Percent Conversion

To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply the decimal by 100 and add the percent symbol (%). This shifts the decimal point two places to the right, turning the decimal into a percentage value.

Understanding Percent

A percent represents a part out of 100. It is a way to express ratios or fractions in terms of hundredths, making it easier to compare and understand proportions in everyday contexts.
