7 ÷ 11 × 100 never comes out exactly: it is 63.636363...%, which is 63 7/11%.
The answer

That is 63.63%, where the group 63 repeats for ever, or 63.6% to 1 decimal place.
How to turn 7/11 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: 7 ÷ 11 = 0.63, where the group 63 repeats for ever.
- Multiply by 100, which moves every digit two places to the left: 63.63%, where the group 63 repeats for ever.
To write it exactly, divide 700 by 11 and keep the remainder: 700 ÷ 11 = 63 remainder 7. The remainder is 7/11 of a per cent, so 7/11 = 63 7/11%.
Rounded to 1 decimal place, 7/11 is 63.6%. To the nearest whole per cent, it is 64%.
