Question

How to change
a fraction into a percent

Answer 1

[see below]

Explanation:

If you are given a fraction, convert it into a decimal by diving the numerator by the denominator.

After converting it into a decimal, you multiply it by 100 to get the percent value. After that, you add the percent sign.

Example:

`\text{Convert (5)/(10) into a percent.}`
`\text{Convert } (5)/(10) \text{ into a percent.}\\\\\\\rightarrow \text{Step One: Convert into decimal.}\\\\(5)/(10)=0.5\\\\\rightarrow \text{Step Two: Multiply by 100 and then add percent sign.}\\\\0.5 * 100 = 50\\\\`

50%

`(5)/(10)=50`%

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Divide the numerator into the denominator, then move the decimal 2 places to the right.

Explanation:

Let's use 3/4 as an example.

Divide 3 into 4 and you get 0.75

Move the decimal 2 places to the right and you get 75

Then just add a percent sign (75%)

I hope this helps, and have a great day! :)
