How do you turn 3 percent into a fraction?

Answer 1

Take your percentage number and divide it by 100.

So in your case, writing 3% as a fraction, you would get 3/100.

If you have 50%, as a fraction you'll have 50/100. Here we see that 50 is a common factor of both 50 and 100, so we can divide both numbers by 50, getting 1/2.
