How can you change a fraction into percent?

Answer 1

per cent (or %) Literally from the Latin "in every hundred", so it is a fraction with denominator of 100 replaced by this phrase, or by the symbol %,

So, 25 percent = 25% = 25/100 which is 1/4.

Answer 2

A simple way to do it for certain fractions is to convert the denominator (the bottom number of the fraction) to 100. Then the numerator will be your percent.

For example, if we start with 1/10, we can convert the denominator to 100 by multiplying the top and bottom by 10, giving us 10/100. Thus, the answer is 10%.

For any fraction, you can take the numerator (top number) and divide it by the denominator (bottom number). Then multiply the answer by 100 to get the percent.

For example,

3/7= .42857

And,

.42857 * 100 = 42.857.

Thus the answer is approximately 42.857%.

Answer 3

Divide the numerator by the denominator. Multiply the product by 100.

3/8 = 3 divided by 8 = 0.375 = 37.5%
