Answer 2

`Percent = (100a)/(b)\%`

Explanation:

Given

`(a)/(b)`

Required

Convert to fraction

To do this, we simply multiply the fraction by 100%

This gives:

`Percent = (a)/(b) * 100\%`

`Percent = (a * 100)/(b)\%`

`Percent = (100a)/(b)\%`

The expression cannot be further simplified.

Take for instance the fraction is:
`(2)/(5)`

Using the same analysis, the percentage would be:

`Percent = (2)/(5) * 100\%`

`Percent = (2 * 100)/(5)\%`

`Percent = (200)/(5)\%`

`Percent = 40\%`
