Cube Root From 1 to 30
Have you ever checked your test results, sports stats, or survey data and thought:
“Hmm… I got 10 out of 16. But what percentage is that?”
If yes, you’re not alone! Converting a fraction like 10 out of 16 into a percentage makes it easier to understand and share with others. Let’s break it down—without scary math talk.
🧩 Step 1: What does “10 out of 16” really mean?
Think of it this way:
- You had 16 total chances (questions, points, or games).
- You got 10 right (correct answers, wins, etc.).
This is like saying:
“Out of the whole pie (16 slices), I got 10 slices.”
📐 Step 2: How to turn it into a percentage
Percentages just mean: “out of 100.”
To get there, use this super simple formula:
(Part/Whole)×100
So here’s what we do:
(10/16)×100
✅ Step 3: Let’s calculate (don’t worry—it’s easy!)
1️⃣ Divide 10 by 16:
10÷16=0.625
2️⃣ Multiply by 100:
0.625×100=62.5%
That’s it!
So, 10 out of 16 = 62.5%.
🎉 What does 62.5% mean in real life?
Here are a few examples:
- 📚 You answered 10 questions right out of 16 → your test score is 62.5%.
- 🏀 Your team won 10 out of 16 matches → your win rate is 62.5%.
- 🗳️ In a survey, 10 people out of 16 said “yes” → 62.5% support.
Percentages help us compare, track progress, and understand data better.
💡 Quick tip: How to estimate mentally
If you don’t have a calculator, here’s a trick:
- 16 parts = 100%
- Half of 16 (which is 8) would be about 50%
- 10 is 2 more than 8 → each part is worth 6.25%
- So, 10 × 6.25% = 62.5%
📊 Why this matters
Knowing how to convert fractions to percentages helps in:
✔ School and exams
✔ Sports and hobbies
✔ Business reports and surveys
✔ Everyday decisions (like discounts or ratings)
