Answer 2

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
