To convert a fraction to a percentage, multiply the numerator by 100 and divide by the denominator; if the denominator does not divide exactly into this, the percentage can be left as a fraction or converted to a decimal.

For example, to convert 3/8 to a percentage (8 does not divide into 100):

3/8 = 3/8 x 100 %

= 300 / 8 %

= 374/8 %

= 371/2 %

Or as a decimal:

= 37.5 %
