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.

∙ 2016-06-02 01:27:48To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the denominator into the numerator. To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply it by 100.
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 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.

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.
