Answer 1

To convert \(2 \frac{8}{32}\) into a percentage, follow these steps:

1. **Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction**:
\[
2 \frac{8}{32} = 2 + \frac{8}{32} = \frac{2 \times 32 + 8}{32} = \frac{64 + 8}{32} = \frac{72}{32}
\]

2. **Simplify the fraction**:
\[
\frac{72}{32} = \frac{72 \div 8}{32 \div 8} = \frac{9}{4}
\]

3. **Convert the fraction to a decimal**:
\[
\frac{9}{4} = 2.25
\]

4. **Convert the decimal to a percentage**:
\[
2.25 \times 100 = 225\%
\]

So, \(2 \frac{8}{32}\) as a percentage is **225%**.
