Percents ca n be co nverted to decimals a nd fractio ns. Example: 50% = 0.5 = 50/100 or 1/2
They can sometimes all have the same numerical values as for example 3/4 = 0.75 = 75%
Look for examples and context. For example, a recipe will always talk about fractions of cups, tablespoons, etc. If you're talking about the chance of rain, you would express that as a percentage.
Convert the fraction into a decimal and then multiply it by 100 to turn it into a percentage as for example 3/4 = 0.75 as a decimal and 0.75*100 = 75%
By dividing the denominator into the numerator to become a decimal and multiply it by 100 to become a percentage as for example: 3/4 = 0.75 and 0.75*100 = 75%
Fractions, decimals and percents aren't integers

Surely percents can always be expressed as fractions or decimals, but percents are useful for comparing values- percents are essentially fractions all of the same denominator so they are easier to compare. Example: which is bigger 9/20 or 88/200 ? which is bigger 45% or 44% ? The percent question is easier to answer even though the numbers are the same.
To change % to fraction: Divide the % by 100% Example: To change 93% to fraction: 93%/100% = 93/100
A non-example of a percent would be any numerical value that is not expressed as a portion out of 100. For example, fractions, decimals, and whole numbers are not considered percents. In mathematics, percents specifically represent a value out of 100, making them distinct from other numerical representations.

Fractions to Decimals to percent Example- For example the fraction is 4/7. You divide the numerator by the denominator and you get 0.571. If you want it into a percent, (Percent= out of 100) You multiply the decimal by 100 and you get 57.1%
By dividing the denominator into the numerator to become a decimal and multiply it by 100 to become a percentage as for example: 3/4 = 0.75 and 0.75*100 = 75%
For example: 1/2 = 0.5 as a decimal and times it by 100 = 50% For example: 3/4 = 0.75 as a decomal and times it by 100 = 75% For example: 4/5 = 0.80 as a decimal and times it by 100 = 80%
