Using equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents, how can you show a fraction or a decimal as a percent?

Answer 1

To show a fraction as a percent, you can divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100.

For example, to show the fraction 3/4 as a percent:

3/4 = 0.75 (decimal) = 0.75 * 100 = 75%.

Similarly, to show a decimal as a percent, you can multiply the decimal by 100.

For example, to show the decimal 0.6 as a percent:

0.6 = 0.6 * 100 = 60%.

So, 3/4 can be shown as 75% or 0.75, and 0.6 can be shown as 60% or 3/5.
