10/11 as a percentage
10 ÷ 11 × 100 never comes out exactly: it is 90.909090...%, which is 90 10/11%.
The answer
10/11 = 90 10/11%
That is 90.90%, where the group 90 repeats for ever, or 90.9% to 1 decimal place.
How to turn 10/11 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: 10 ÷ 11 = 0.90, where the group 90 repeats for ever.
- Multiply by 100, which moves every digit two places to the left: 90.90%, where the group 90 repeats for ever.
To write it exactly, divide 1000 by 11 and keep the remainder: 1000 ÷ 11 = 90 remainder 10. The remainder is 10/11 of a per cent, so 10/11 = 90 10/11%.
Rounded to 1 decimal place, 10/11 is 90.9%. To the nearest whole per cent, it is 91%.
