How Do I Turn A Percent Into A Fraction And Vice Versa?
I don't understand it quite yet actually it is more complicated than it has to be...and I know it yet I don't know the steps.....I understand you divide num. Times denom. But I do not understand how to do it ...my teacher is not very good at explaining.

"Percent" means "per hundred" (/100). So 20% is 20 per hundred, 20/100.
Once you have a fraction like 20/100, you can simplify it in the usual way. That involves finding factors that are common to the numerator and denominator.
20/100 = (1*20)/(5*20) = (1/5)*(20/20) = (1/5)*1 = 1/5
Note that all of the above equal signs are valid. We have not changed the value of the expression as a result of any of these manipulations.

To turn a fraction into a percent, you can divide it out (quit when you have enough digits to suit).
1/7 = .14285714285714... (it repeats forever)
Now, multiply this by 1. The 1 is in a special form: 100%. You will have the same value, but it will be expressed differently. The value will be expressed as a percent. (After you do this a few times, you will see that moving the decimal point 2 places is all it takes to allow you to add a % sign.)
.142857*100% = 14.2857%
.143 = 14.3% (after you gain experience and confidence)
Alternatively, you can express the fraction over 100:
1/4 = (1/4)*(25/25) = (1*25)/(4*25) = 25/100 = 25%
Here, you choose the 25 because you know that will make the denominator=100.
Or, you can go for it right away:
1/6 = (1/6)*100% = (100%)/6 = (100/6)% = 16.667%
