Ratios to Percents

When finding the percent of a ratio, think of how we tally simple scores:

In gym class, you hit 3 out of 4 baskets.
That's 75%!


You divide 3 by 4 to equal .75.
Remember that the denominator will always divide the numerator.


Then, move the decimal two places to the right to change your answer from 0.75 to 75%.


Practice with Enrichment 6-5 tonight.

Also please answer the open response question handed out in class on a separate piece of paper.
We'll go through the scoring sheets tomorrow.
