How To Calculate 8 out Of 15 As a Percentage?

Let’s break down how to calculate 8 out of 15 as a percentage, and then see where that falls within our grading system.

Step 1: Express as a Fraction

The first step is to represent the score as a fraction. You have 8 out of 15, which is written as 8/15.

Step 2: Divide the Numerator by the Denominator

To convert a fraction to a decimal, you divide the top number (numerator) by the bottom number (denominator). So, you’ll divide 8 by 15.

8 ÷ 15 = 0.5333… (The 3s continue on indefinitely, making it a repeating decimal)

Step 3: Multiply by 100

To change a decimal into a percentage, you multiply by 100.

0.5333… x 100 = 53.33…%

Step 4: Round to a Reasonable Number of Decimal Places

Since our grading system deals with whole number percentages, we can round 53.33% to 53%. If you needed more precision, you could round to one or two decimal places (53.3% or 53.33%).

Step 5: Relate to the Grading System

Now, let’s see where 53% falls within our grading system.

Looking at the table:

• F: 0-59.99%

53% falls within the range of 0-59.99%, so a score of 8 out of 15, which is 53%, would result in an F grade.
