11/12 as a percentage
11 ÷ 12 × 100 never comes out exactly: it is 91.666...%, which is 91 2/3%.
The answer

That is 91.6%, where the 6 repeats for ever, or 91.7% to 1 decimal place.
How to turn 11/12 into a percentage
Per cent means out of 100, so a percentage is a fraction with a bottom of 100.
12 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: 11 ÷ 12 = 0.916, where the 6 repeats for ever.
- Multiply by 100, which moves every digit two places to the left: 91.6%, where the 6 repeats for ever.
To write it exactly, divide 1100 by 12 and keep the remainder: 1100 ÷ 12 = 91 remainder 8. The remainder is 8/12 of a per cent, which simplifies to 2/3, so 11/12 = 91 2/3%.
Rounded to 1 decimal place, 11/12 is 91.7%. To the nearest whole per cent, it is 92%.
