What percentage is 5 out of 12

5/12*100

= (5*100)/12

= 500/12 = 41.6667

Now we have: 5 is what percent of 12 = 41.6667

Question: 5 is what percent of 12?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 12 is 100 % since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100 % = 12.

Step 4: In the same vein, x % = 5 .

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100 % = 12(1).

x % = 5(2).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100 % / x % = 12/5

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

x/100 = 5/12

x = 41.6667 %

Therefore, 5 is 41.6667 % of 12.

5 out of 12 as a percentage is 41.67%. To calculate this, divide 5 by 12 to get 0.4166666667. Then, multiply this by 100 to get 41.67.

Converting integer or decimal numbers, fractions, proportions and ratios to percentages

It's very simple to write a fraction (a proportion or a ratio) or a decimal number as a percentage.

To convert a fraction:

• - start by dividing the numerator by the denominator
• - then multiply the result by 100%
• By multiplying the result by 100% the value we've got at the previous step is not modified, since 100% = 100/100 = 1
• By multiplying by 100% only the form is being changed - it's written as a percentage.

It's even simpler to write an integer or decimal number as a percentage:

• - simply multiply the number by 100%

Examples

• 1/4 = 0.25 = 0.25 × 100% = (0.25 × 100)% = 25%;
• 7/8 = 0.875 = 0.875 × 100% = (0.875 × 100)% = 87.5%
• 1.3/9.4 ≈ 0.138297 = 0.138297 × 100% = (0.138297 × 100)% = 13.8297%
• 4.3 = 4.3 × 100% = (4.3 × 100)% = 430%;

Converting a fraction like 5/12 to its percentage format is a very simple and useful math skill that will help students to understand fractions and how to express them in different ways. In this article, we'll show you exactly how to convert fractions to a percentage and give you lots of examples to help you.

There are two main ways to express a fraction as a percentage:

1. Divide 100 by the numerator, and then multiply both numerator and denominator by the answer.
2. Convert the fraction to a decimal first, then multiply the answer by 100.

The first step is to make sure we understand all of the terms in the problem we are trying to solve:

• Numerator - this is the number above the fraction line. For 512, the numerator is 5.
• Denominator - this is the number below the fraction line. For 512, the denominator is 12.
• Per cent - "per cent" means parts per hundred, so saying 50%, for example, is the same as the fraction 50100 or 510.

Convert 5/12 to Percentage by Changing Denominator

The first method we have is to convert the fraction so that the denominator is 100. Since "per cent" means parts per hundred, if we can convert the fraction to have 100 as the denominator, we then know that the top number, the numerator, is the percentage.

First, we divide 100 by the denominator:

100 ÷ 12 = 8.3333333333333

Once we have the answer of 8.3333333333333, we can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by it to get our new "percent" fraction:

5 × 8.3333333333333 12 × 8.3333333333333 = 41.666666666667 100

Our percent fraction is 41.666666666667/100, which means that 512 as a percentage is 41.67%.

Convert 5/12 to Percentage by Converting to Decimal

With this method, we first need to divide the numerator by the denominator:

5 ÷ 12 = 0.41666666666667

Once we have the fraction in a decimal format, the answer is then multiplied by 100 to get the correct percentage:

0.41666666666667 × 100 = 41.67%

We can see that this gives us the exact same answer as the first method: 5/12 as a percentage is 41.67%.

Both methods of converting a fraction to a percentage are pretty straightward and can be applied to any fraction easily when you have learned and memorized the steps involved.

Note, the final percentage is rounded to 2 decimal places to make the answer simple to read and understand.
