Answer 1

To express a fraction or decimal as a percent, you can convert it using multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

To express a fraction or decimal as a percent, you can convert it using the following rules:

1. Fraction to percent: Multiply the fraction by 100 and simplify if needed.
2. Decimal to percent: Multiply the decimal by 100.

Using these rules, the conversions are as follows:

(a) 0.25 = 0.25 x 100 = 25%

(b) 1.255 = 1.255 x 100 = 125.5%

(c) 1/8 = (1/8) x 100 = 12.5%

(d) 16/5 = (16/5) x 100 = 320%
