Best Answer

You can convert it to its equivilant decimal by dividing it out, either by calculator or long division.

Example 5/8 = 5 divided by 8 = 0.625, (same value, different format)

Or to convert to its equivilant percentage:

express fraction with denominator of 100 (definition of percentage)

in this case multiply top and bottom of 5/8 by 12.5 = 62.5/100 = 62.5 %
