Question

If you convert 1 1/4to a percent, whatpercent would it be

Answer 1

We need to convert the fraction:

$1\frac{1}{4}$

To a percent. The first step is to convert it to an improper fraction, we do that by adding the integer and fractional parts.

$1+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$

A percent is a fraction for which the denominator is equal to 100. So we need to multiply the denominator and numerator by a number that will make the denominator equals to 100.

$\frac{5\cdot25}{4\cdot25}=\frac{125}{100}=125\text{ \%}$

The result is 125 %.
