Hello! 48% can be expressed in multiple ways, and I'll explain how to convert it.

Fraction: To convert a percentage into a fraction, put the number over 100 and simplify if necessary.

48/100= 24/50= 12/25

Decimal: To convert a percentage to a decimal, move the decimal two places to the left. 48% : 48. 4.8, 0.48

Hope this helps! :)
