D.325%
3 1/4= 13/4
13 divides to 4 is 3.25
3.25 x 100 = 325%
* percent is out of 100

Fractions are parts of a number. Decimals are fractions whose denominators are powers of 10. Percents are numbers out of 100. Therefore, you convert a fraction to a decimal, follow these steps:

  • Convert the mixed fraction into a whole fraction:


3(1)/(4) = (13)/(4) = (325)/(100)

  • Convert the fraction into a decimal:


(325)/(100) = 3.25

  • Convert the decimal into a percent by multiplying by 100:

3.25 × 100 = 325%

Your answer is D
