Step 1: Express the Score as a Fraction

You have a score of 10 out of a possible 15. This can be written as a fraction: 10/15.

Step 2: Simplify the Fraction (Optional but Recommended)

Simplifying the fraction makes the next step easier. Both 10 and 15 are divisible by 5. So, we divide both the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) by 5:

10 ÷ 5 = 2 15 ÷ 5 = 3

This gives us the simplified fraction 2/3. While not strictly necessary, simplifying often makes calculations easier.

Step 3: Convert the Fraction to a Decimal

2 ÷ 3 = 0.666666… (The 6s repeat indefinitely)

Often, you’ll be asked to round the decimal to a certain number of places.

For percentages, rounding to two decimal places is common. In this case, 0.666666… rounds to 0.667.

To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100.

0.667 × 100 = 66.7

Therefore, 10 out of 15 is equal to 66.7%.

Step 5: Relate the Percentage to the Grading System

Now, let’s see where 66.7% falls within our grading system.
