1/11 as a percentage
1 ÷ 11 × 100 never comes out exactly: it is 9.090909...%, which is 9 1/11%.
The answer
1/11 = 9 1/11%
That is 9.09%, where the group 09 repeats for ever, or 9.1% to 1 decimal place.
How to turn 1/11 into a percentage
Per cent means out of 100, so a percentage is a fraction with a bottom of 100.
11 does not go exactly into 100, so there is no whole-number way to make the bottom 100. Go through the decimal instead:
- Divide the top by the bottom: 1 ÷ 11 = 0.09, where the group 09 repeats for ever.
- Multiply by 100, which moves every digit two places to the left: 9.09%, where the group 09 repeats for ever.
To write it exactly, divide 100 by 11 and keep the remainder: 100 ÷ 11 = 9 remainder 1. The remainder is 1/11 of a per cent, so 1/11 = 9 1/11%.
Rounded to 1 decimal place, 1/11 is 9.1%. To the nearest whole per cent, it is 9%.
