Question 58

Changing the fraction 9/13 to a percent results in 69%.

To convert the fraction 9/13 into a percent, one can divide 9 by 13 and then multiply the result by 100. This calculation yields approximately 69.23%, which rounds to 69%.

A) 33%

This option is incorrect because 33% represents a value much lower than the actual calculation of 9 divided by 13. When converting fractions to percentages, this percentage does not accurately reflect the value of 9/13.

B) 69%

This is the correct answer. When calculating the conversion of the fraction 9/13 to a percentage, the result is approximately 69.23%. Rounding this value gives us 69%, making this the accurate representation of the fraction in percentage form.

C) 72%

This option is incorrect because 72% exceeds the actual value derived from the fraction 9/13. The result of the conversion and rounding process yields a lower percentage than 72%.

D) 78%

This option is also incorrect. A percentage of 78% is significantly higher than the calculated value of 9/13, which is closer to 69%. Thus, this does not accurately represent the fraction's value as a percentage.

Conclusion

The conversion of the fraction 9/13 to a percentage correctly results in 69%, making option B the definitive answer. All other options fail to represent the accurate calculation, as they either underestimate or overestimate the value derived from the fraction.
