How is 44% written as a ratio?

1. The word percent means per 100. 2. Writing a percent as a ratio places the percent number over 100. 3. 44% becomes 44/100. 4. Flipping the ratio to 100/44, or writing the denominator as 10 or 1000 instead of 100, would all misrepresent the original percent. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 6 "Percents", section 6.1 Understand Percent_
