D) 60%. an easy way to do this would be to multiply the denominator and the numerator by the same thing to make the denominator equal 100, and the numerator is the percent. For example, this question, how many time can 5 go into 100? 20 times. multiply 20 by 3, because what you do to the denominator you have to do to the numerator; so 20 x 3 = 60, 60%.

3/8, multiply by 12.5, since 8 goes into a hundred 12.5 times, to get 8 x 12.5 = 100 and 3 x 12.5 = 37.5, 37.5%
