Math Problem Statement

Change 14 out of 40 to a percentage. Change 36 out of 60 to a percentage.

Solution

Let's solve both parts of the question:

a) Change 14 out of 40 to a percentage:

To convert a fraction to a percentage, you divide the numerator by the denominator and then multiply by 100.

1440×100=35%\frac{14}{40} \times 100 = 35\%

So, 14 out of 40 is 35%.


b) Change 36 out of 60 to a percentage:

3660×100=60%\frac{36}{60} \times 100 = 60\%

So, 36 out of 60 is 60%.
