∙ 14y agogiven the fraction is 1/5
you divide 1 by 5 and get .2
to turn .2 to a percentage add a 0 to the end and remove the decimal point
the answer is 20%

∙ 14y agoTo change a fraction into a decimal divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100 to change it into a percentage as for example 3/4 is 0.75 as a decimal and when multiplied by 100 it is 75%
The answer depends on the form of the fraction. If it is a decimal fraction, you need to nothing to convert it to a decimal! (?). If it is in the form of a rational fraction, you need to use long division to divide the numerator by the denominator. The division will either come to an end or will go into a repeating loop of digits. The quotient from the division is the decimal equivalent. To convert to a percentage, simply move the decimal point two places to the right - inserting os if required.
To get from a decimal to a percent, simply multiply the decimal by 100 and add the percent sign. So, 4.16666667 is 416.666667%. Reverse this process to get from a percent to a decimal.
There are infinitely many decimal fractions between 1.5 and 1.6 - or indeed between any two numbers.For example, 1.52 is between 1.5 and 1.6then 1.513 is between 1.5 and 1.52and then 1.5126 is between 1.5 and 1.513.I hope that you can see that this process can never end. Furthermore, you will see that the same argument also applies to 1.52 to 1.6 and all the other intervals that are created in this process.
Multiplying
conversion
To change a fraction to a decimal: Perform the indicated division. To change a fraction to a percent: Perform the indicated division. Then multiply the quotient by 100.
'Conversion' perhaps. 'Division' also does a nice job of it.
Division.
To change a fraction into a decimal divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100 to change it into a percentage as for example 3/4 is 0.75 as a decimal and when multiplied by 100 it is 75%
divide the denominator by the numerator
The process of converting a fraction to a decimal and then to a percent is called fractional to decimal to percent conversion.
To change a fraction to a decimal, divide its numerator by its denominator using long division. To change that into a percent, move the decimal place two places to the left.For example,if you have 3/8, long division gives 0.375 and the percentage is 37.5%
The process of long division.

A percent is simply a decimal number written as a number over 100. For example, .8 = eight tenths = 8/10 = 80/100 = 80 percent. Notice, to get from the original .8 to our answer in percent, we just moved the decimal two places to the right (.8 -> 8. -> 80.) So, to change a percent to a decimal, you just reverse the process, so you move the decimal two places to the left. 80 percent -> 8 -> .8 (as a decimal) or 65 percent -> 6.5 -> .65 (as a decimal)
To get from a decimal to a percent, simply multiply the decimal by 100 and add the percent sign. So, 4.16666667 is 416.666667%. Reverse this process to get from a percent to a decimal.
