When do i turn 15 12

A mixed number is a whole number plus a fraction. You can convert fraction part of the mixed number to a decimal and then multiply by to get the percent value. Alternatively you can convert mixed number to an improper fraction, and then convert it to a decimal by dividing numerator by denominator. Finally, multiply the decimal by to find the percent value. You can also convert a mixed number to a percentage using fraction addition. First convert the whole number part of the mixed number to an improper fraction and add it to the fraction part of the mixed number.

Then divide numerator by denominator and multiply by to get the percent value. See the Mixed Number to Improper Fraction Calculator to convert a mixed number to an improper fraction. See the Decimal to Percent Calculator to convert a decimal to a percentage value.

Basic Calculator. Before we begin, let's revisit some basic fraction terms so you understand exactly what we're dealing with here:. We first want to find the whole number, and to do this we divide the numerator by the denominator.

Since we are only interested in whole numbers , we ignore any numbers to the right of the decimal point. Now that we have our whole number for the mixed fraction, we need to find our new numerator for the fraction part of the mixed number. To work this out we'll use the whole number we calculated in step one 1 and multiply it by the original denominator The result of that multiplication is then subtracted from the original numerator:.

To see it, we just need to put the whole number together with our new numerator and original denominator:. In order to do that, we need to calculate the GCF greatest common factor of those two numbers.

You can use our handy GCF calculator to work this out yourself if you want to. We already did that, and the GCF of 3 and 12 is 3. We can now divide both the new numerator and the denominator by 3 to simplify this fraction down to its lowest terms.
