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.
Division.
conversion
divide the denominator by the numerator
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%
given 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%
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.
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.
Remember that a fraction means division. Divide 7 by 11 and you have the equivalent decimal.
You divide the numerator by the denomonator. If it is a mixed number, change it to an improper fraction and use the same process as above.
The number 29.8 as a percentage is 29.8%. It is a very easy process in order to convert numbers with a decimal point into percentages. Decimals look confusing but they are very easy.
