Question

Convert the following fraction to a percentage (round to the nearest tenth if needed). 3/7

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{42.9 \%}`

Explanation:

=>
`(3)/(7)`

To make it a percentage, we need to multiply and divide it by 100

=>
`(3)/(7) * (100)/(100)`

=>
`(300)/(700)`

To make the denominator 100, we'll divide the numerator and denominator by 7

=>
`(300/7)/(700/7)`

=>
`(42.9)/(100)`

Percentage means out of hundred, so it becomes

=> 42.9 %
