Converting a percentage to a fraction or ratio is more complex. First, you must find the greatest common factor between the two numbers. Then you divide both the numerator and denominator by them. For instance, to simplify 5%, start by expressing it as 5/100. Then, divide the two numbers by their common factor, 5.

Twenty-five boxes are equal to 25%, which is 1/4 of the entire box. This represents the gray boxes.

During the reign of the Emperor Augustus (23 BCE – 14 CE), the Imperial government began to charge a tax on auctions. Called centesima rerum venalium, it cost 100th of the value of the goods sold. This tax helped pay for the retirement stipends of the Roman legionary army. In its most literal form, percentages mean “part per hundred.” This is the expression of a fraction or ratio where the denominator is 100. The percentage became one of the most popular expressions of fractions for a reason. They illustrate proportion and completeness in a way that’s easy to understand. They also simplify the process of calculating based on a proportion. Percentages convert to decimals, which are much easier to process. Generally available in 7.500 to 7.650 Metre lengths in Grade 43; however other lengths and grades are available. For your information Kg/m refers to the Kilograms per Metre of the section, as an example a 4.200 Metre length of 48.3 OD x 3.2mm (CHS) Circular Steel Hollow Section (3.56 Kg/m) would weigh (4.2 x 3.56) 14.952 Kg's Total. 21.3 OD x 3.2mm (CHS) Circular Steel Hollow Section (1.43 Kg/m)

Sure enough, your total sales in 2020 are 600% of your sales the year before. But that’s not how much your sales grew. To measure growth, start instead with a base amount and subtract it from the present amount. Our base amount is the volume of sales in 2019. Here’s how much your sales have changed.The fraction form of 0.375 is 375/1000. Let’s simplify this fraction. The common factor of the two numbers is 5. With this in mind, how simple can this fraction go?

Next, let’s talk about credit cards. If you have a credit card balance from month to month, you should pay it ASAP. Unlike mortgages and car loans with fixed terms, credit card debt is harder to pay down. Left unpaid too long, this can spiral into toxic debt because of compound interest. One common error is when interpreting percentages is when measuring growth. For instance, let’s assume you and your company sold 10,000 bags of cake flour in 2019. In 2020, that number increased by 60,000 bags. It’s tempting to say that your sales grew by 600%. For example, a classroom has 40 students. If we say 25% of the class are girls, you’ll get the idea that most of the students are boys (75%). That means out of 40 students, there are only 10 girls while there are 30 boys. You have several ways of converting a fraction into a percentage. The easiest percentage conversion is through decimals. Divide the fraction to get its decimal value, then multiply it by 100.

Why do we use percentages? This concept makes calculating simpler when we’re working with parts of 100. Again, it’s easier than basing calculations on thirds, fifths, twelfths or other bases. It’s useful in particular because many fractions do not have a precise non-recurring decimal equivalent. An amount per 100 that refers to a portion of a whole (in a general way) typically without using a specific number. Comparing portion sizes is one key to the popularity of percentages. People find it easier to compare percentages than fractions. This is the reason why third pound burgers never quite took off in the United States. The target audience didn’t realize that these were heavier than quarter pound burgers. Thus, even marketing departments often use percentages over fractions to tout larger sizes. This becomes especially important when dealing with active ingredients. During COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, hand sanitizer has become hard to find. So, a lot of people began searching for ways to make it themselves. According to the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), hand sanitizer must comprise at least 60% alcohol to be effective. If you start off with a 99 percent alcohol solution, you can use 2/3rds of it in a mixture. The resulting hand sanitizer will be 66 percent alcohol, well within CDC parameters. If you start with a 70% commercial alcohol solution, however, the resulting mixture will be much too low. Other measurements such as the PV and RMS are important too. With these measurements, the lower the number the better as it shows less curvature on the lens. The flatter an optical lens, the better it will perform. The PV rating (Peak To Valley) is a measurement from the highest point (Peak) to the lowest point (Valley). From this we get the RMS (Root, Mean, Square). This is a similar figure to the PV and measured exactly the same way. The RMS is basically an average height difference from the PV so again, the lower the better. As you can see form the example below, we measured an RMS of just 0.027 wave which is a very good value.
