Question

convert the following proportion into a percent.
\\(\frac{24}{97}\\)
?%

Explanation:

Step1: Divide numerator by denominator

To convert a fraction to a decimal, we perform the division \( 24 \div 97 \). Using a calculator, \( 24 \div 97 \approx 0.2474 \).

Step2: Multiply by 100 to get percent

To convert the decimal to a percent, we multiply by 100: \( 0.2474 \times 100 = 24.74\% \) (rounded to two decimal places).

Answer:

\( 24.74\% \) (or depending on rounding requirements, could be \( 24.7\% \), \( 25\% \), etc., but the precise calculation gives approximately \( 24.74\% \))
