Yo folks! Just got my quiz back and I scored 26 out of 30. Can someone explain how to convert this fraction into a percentage? And what grade would this translate to?
Hello! Converting a fraction to a percentage is straightforward. You simply divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number) and then multiply the result by 100. So for your score, you'd divide 26 by 30, and then multiply the result by 100.
Here's the math:
(26/30)100 = 86.67%
In terms of how this translates into a grade, it really depends on your school's grading scale. Many schools use a standard for grades where anything 90% and above is an A, 80-89% is a B, 70-79% is a C, 60-69% is a D, and anything below 60% is an F.
So, your score of 86.67% would typically be considered a B in many schools. That said, different schools and teachers may have slightly different grading scales, so it's always a good idea to confirm with your teacher or consult your school's student handbook.
