How do you convert fractions into a percents?

Answer 1

A fraction is basically like a division problem. 1/4 is 1 divided by 4.

So, solve that division problem.

As a solution, you will get a decimal number. 1 divided by 4 is 0.25.

Move the decimal point 2 places to the right. 0.25 => 25.

Add the percent sign next to the number. 25%.

And that is how you convert a fraction into a percent!

Answer 2

A general method that works for all percents is to write the percent as a fraction with 100 in the denominator ( the bottom.)

So 25% is 25/100. Then you reduce the fraction. 25/100 is the same as 1/4 of course.

Some percents can be converted to fractions just by using the understanding of what it means. So for example, 25% is 1/4 or 100% so it is 1/4.

This does not work for numbers such as 32.3 percent.

To convert this, write it as a number over 100, 32.3/100, next get rid of the decimal by multiplying numerator and denominator by 10 so we have

323/1000. Last, reduced the fraction.

Either method is fine, just depends on your math intuition

Answer 3

Do the division, multiply by 100.

3/4 = 3 divided by 4 = 0.75 = 75%

Answer 4

if the is 75% it's easy just to know because percent out of 100 so the fraction would be 75/100
