how do you convert fractions to percentages?

The above answers are mostly correct; however, after dividing 3 by 4 you get .75, you then multiply by 100 to get 75%.\n\n75&#92;100 = .75\n\n3&#92;4 =.75\n\nThe decimal representation is a matter of preference:\n.75 and 75% are basically the same.

in order to figure this out, you first have to find the decimal of the numbers. to do this follow these steps:\n\n1-divide the numerator by the denomintaor, therefore, recieving the decimal\n\n3 divided by 8= 0.375\n\nyou have to round the number if it has more than two decimal places \n\n0.375=0.38\n\nthen, you multiply the decimal you got by 100, then you get your percent\n\n0.38 x 100 = 38\n\n38=38 %\n\nhope you understand good luck :)

to write a % as a fraction, just put it over 100. e.g.  60%  + 60/100.\n(This simplifies to 6/10) Then, to convert it to decimals,  put a decimal point in front of it.  e.g. 60% = 60/100 or .6

To convert a fraction to decimal using a calculator, its just the top number (numberator) divided by the bottom number (denominator).\n\n1 ÷ 4 = 0.25\n\nTo convert it without a calculator, you can use equilavent fractions, which works for some easy denominators. Just change the denominator to a power of 10 (10,100,1000,...) by multiplying the top and bottom by the same amount, which keeps the same value of the fraction.\n\n1/4 = 1*25 / 4*25 = 25/100 = 25 hundredths\n\n25 hundredths ends in the hundredths column, so 0.25\n(thats the same as 2 tenths and 5 hundredths)\n\nYou can also work out any fraction into a decimal using long division, just proceed past the decimal as normal, putting in extra 0's\n\n1 ÷ 4 = 4 into 1 = 4 into 1.00\n\n4 ) 1.00\n\n4 into 1 goes 0 remainder 1\n4 into 10 goes 2 remainder 2\n4 into 20 goes 5\n\n0.25, keeping the decimal point in the same place\n\nThis always works, although you will need to decide when to stop for a repeating decimal such as 1/3\n\n3 ) 1.0000...\n\n3 into 1 goes 0 remainder 1\n3 into 10 goes 3 remainder 1\n3 into 10 goes 3 remainder 1\n3 into 10 goes 3 remainder 1\n3 into 10 goes 3 remainder 1\n.\n.\n.\n\n1/3 = 0.33333...

When you write a decimal as a percent, all you have to do is move the decimal place two places to the right.\n\n.0007 = .07% (b)

to change a decimal into a fraction take the decimal lets say .56 and put to over 1 with as many zeros that there is in the decimal so it becomes 56/100 then reduce to its simplest terms....56/100=14/25  and viola!\n\nto turn it into a decimal just divid it so it would be 14 divided by 25 ...and you get .56! \n\nhope this helps :)

to convert from decimal to percentage, just multiply the decimal by 100, but remember to put the "%" sign so people know it is per 100

Other posters have the right method, but wrong answers:\n\nThe answer is 12.15352% (not 12.54%, I think they lost a digit)\n\n12153.52 / 100000 = 0.1215352\n\nConverting a decimal into a percentage is just multiplying it by 100(%).  This is also just moving the decimal to the right 2 places.\n\nSo the answer is 12.15352%\nYou can round this to 12.15% or 12.2% depending on the level of precision required.

Here's how, using #8 as an example\n\n5/8 = x/100  \n\n(always use x/100 because percent means divided by 100)\n\ncross multiply 8x = 500\n\ndivide 500 by 8 which is 62.5So it is 62.5 %

All percentages are ratios. 10% is a ratio of 1 to 10 for example. I'm not sure if that answers your question.

Do you have some procedure you usually use to convert between percent and fraction and back again? There are several.\n\nOne way is to write the percent as a decimal by moving the decimal point:\n\n0.5% = .005\n\nThen you can write the decimal as a fraction:\n\n.005 = 5/1000\n\nThen you can divide the numerator and denominator by 5:\n\n5/1000 = 1/200\n\nForex made two compensating errors in his/her work, but got the "correct" answer. Of course he/she got the corrent answer; you told us what it is.

put that percent over 100\nex: 5%=5/100\npercent always means out of 100\nyou can also change that fration into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator\nex: 5/100= 0.05\nand you can change the percent into a decimal by moving the understood decimal point to the left twice or dividing the decimal by 100. either way its the same thing\n5%=5.00%=0.05

It is a number x 100. A percentage is a way of expressing a proportion, a ratio or a fraction as a whole number, by using 100 as the denominator. A number such as "45%" ("45 percent" or "45 per cent") is shorthand for the fraction 45/100 or 0.45.

6 % for the first one\n85% for the second\n\nto get that, you divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal.  Than you move the decimal two places over to get the percentage.

if you want to know 10% of 124   you change the percentage into decimal points  and multiply the number by the decimal point  like this     124 x .10 = 1.24  or if you want to know 25% of something you do the same thing\n100 x .25 =  25.  understand?

The first thing to remember about percentages is that they represent a fraction who's denominator (bottom term) is 100 - for example, 40% is the same as 40/100 = 4/10 = 2/5.  And the second is something I learned in math class about 40 years ago about percentage word problems - "percent" over "100" equals "is" over "of".  Burn that into your brain.  How do you use it? In your problem, "40" is the "percent", and "85" is the "of" (because it comes right after the "of"). So using the rule, your problem is:\n\n40/100 = is/85\n\nThere's no "is" in you problem, therefore it must be the answer we have to solve for, right?  So now you cross-multiply:\n\n40*85 = 3400, and 3400/100 = 34, which is the answer.\n\nWhat if your problem asked, "What percent of 85 is 34?" \n\n34 is the "is" since it comes right after the word "is" in the problem, and 85 is still the "of" since it comes right after the "of", and since the problem asks "What percent...", percent is what we have to solve for.  So using the rule, the problem sets up to:\n\npercent/100 = 34/85 \n\nNow cross multiply again:\n 34*100 = 3400, and 3400/85 = 40, so 40 is the "percent", and therefore the answer!  One more example: "34 is 40% of what?"  This time, it looks like "of" is what we have to find, so the problem sets up to:\n\n40/100 = 34/"of"\n\nCross multiply again:\n\n100*34 = 3400, and 3400/40 = 85\n\nSee how easy percentage word problems are?  Practice 30 problems like this, and don't forget that "percent over 100 equals "is" over "of", and remember how to cross-multiply.\n\nGaryH

Divide the top number of the fraction (numerator, I believe) by the bottom number (denomenator I guess) and it gives you a decimal as easy as 1 2 3. \nExample:\n                 5\n              --------\n                10                      \n\nis 5 divided by 10 is 0.5
