Ah, a happy little question! When we have a decimal that repeats, like 0.5 with the 5 repeating, we can convert it to a percent by multiplying it by 100. So, 0.5 repeating as a percent is 50%. Just imagine that percent sign as a little tree in your painting, bringing joy and harmony to your math world.

444.44... repeating %
you use the decimal that is repeating and out that number twice. examples: .6 repeating= 66 percent 0.9 repeating= 99%
Five fifteenths is 5/15. To get the percent of any fraction divide the top by the bottom. So 5 divided by 15 is 0.33333333........ It is a repeating decimal.
To convert a repeating decimal to a percent, we can use the formula: repeating decimal * 100%. In this case, 3.3 repeating is equivalent to 3.3333... To convert this to a percent, we multiply by 100% to get 333.33%.
Answer = .3 with a bar above the 3 or .3 (3 repeating) or even ~.333 (if precision isn't very important). Note: Whenever you have a number in % or "percent" that you want to convert to a decimal number, simply divide the % number by 100 (for example: 33.3 % / 100 = .333). IF the % number is known to be repeating (for example 1/3=.3 repeating=33.3% (repeating)), then you can express the percent number in decimal as .3 with a bar above the 3 or as .3 (repeating) or even ~.333 (where "~" means "approximately). All are valid expressions of 33.3 % (repeating).
