Convert 0.93 into equivalent fractions and write it as a percentage value

1. Write the pure repeating (recurring) decimal number as a percentage.

Approximate to the desired number of decimal places (14).

0.93 ≈ 0.93939393939394


Multiply the number by 100/100.

  • The value of the number does not change when multiplying by 100/100.
  • Note: 100/100 = 1

0.93939393939394 =

0.93939393939394 × 100/100 =

(0.93939393939394 × 100)/100 =

93.939393939394/100 =

93.939393939394% ≈

93.94%

(rounded off to max. 2 decimal places)


  • In other words:
  • Approximate to the desired number of decimal places...
  • Multiply the number by 100...
  • ... And then add the percent sign, %
  • 0.93 ≈ 93.94%

2. Write the pure repeating (recurring) decimal number as a proper fraction.

  • 0.93 can be written as a proper fraction.

  • The numerator is smaller than the denominator.

Set up the first equation.

  • Let y equal the decimal number:

  • y = 0.93


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 2

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 102 = 100


y = 0.93

100 × y = 100 × 0.93

100 × y = 93.93


Subtract the first equation from the second one.

  • Having the same number of decimal places ...
  • The repeating pattern drops off by subtracting the two equations.

100 × y - y = 93.93 - 0.93 ⇒

(100 - 1) × y = 93.93 - 0.93 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

99 × y = 93


Solve for y in the new equation.

99 × y = 93 ⇒

y = 93/99

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 0.93

According to our calculations:

y = 93/99

⇒ 0.93 = 93/99


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
93/99
to the lowest terms, to its simplest equivalent form, irreducible.

To reduce a fraction to the lowest terms divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.


Factor the numerator and denominator (prime factorization).

93 = 3 × 31

99 = 32 × 11

Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (3 × 31; 32 × 11) = 3


» Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF, online calculator


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

93/99 =

(3 × 31)/(32 × 11) =

((3 × 31) ÷ 3) / ((32 × 11) ÷ 3) =

31/(3 × 11) =

31/33


31/33 ~ Equivalent fractions.

  • The above fraction cannot be reduced.
  • That is, it has the smallest possible numerator and denominator.

  • By expanding it we can build up equivalent fractions.

  • Multiply the numerator & the denominator by the same number.


Example 1. By expanding the fraction by 2.

31/33 = (31 × 2)/(33 × 2) = 62/66

Example 2. By expanding the fraction by 4.

31/33 = (31 × 4)/(33 × 4) = 124/132

  • Of course, the above fractions are reducing...
  • ... to the initial fraction: 31/33

Learn how to turn a decimal number into a fraction and a percentage. Steps.

1. How to write the number as a percentage:

  • Multiply the number by 100. Then add the percent sign, %.

2. How to write the number as a fraction:

  • Write down the number divided by 1, as a fraction.
  • Turn the top number into a whole number: multiply both the top and the bottom by the same number.
  • Reduce (simplify) the above fraction to the lowest terms, to its simplest equivalent form, irreducible. To reduce a fraction divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.
  • If the fraction is an improper one, rewrite it as a mixed number (mixed fraction).
  • Calculate equivalent fractions. By expanding it we can build up equivalent fractions: multiply the numerator & the denominator by the same number.
