To convert a fraction to a percentage, you can follow these steps:
- Divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal form of the fraction.
- Multiply the decimal by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
- Add the percent sign (%) to denote that it’s a percentage.
Formula: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Numerator}}{\text{Denominator}}\right) \times 100 \]
Example:
Convert the fraction \( \frac{3}{4} \) to a percentage.
- Divide: \( 3 \div 4 = 0.75 \)
- Multiply by 100: \( 0.75 \times 100 = 75 \)
- Add the percent sign: \( 75% \)
So, \( \frac{3}{4} \) is equal to \( 75% \).
