Change 1/2 to a percent?

Posted at: 2015-03-12 
WOW - another account opened today just to ask another stupid question in the Climate Change section

Divide the top number of the fraction by the bottom: 1 divided by 2= .5

Move the decimal point to the right by two positions because percent is expressed in parts of a hundred. =50.0

Put a percent sign behind it= 50%

You're done.

Bugger all + two fifths of bugger all makes a 40% increase.

You should be able to extrapolate in a linear fashion from there to the amount that you're trying to solve for... all the most popular global circulation models do!

What I want to know is why did someone feel the need to thumb down the correct answer?????!!!!!

50%.
