Question

How do you convert 3 1/8 into a decimal and percent?

Answer 1

Use division and multiplication.

Explanation:

Divide the numerator by the denominator and add the whole number to convert a mixed fraction into a decimal.

`1/8=0.125` `0.125+3=3.125`

`3 1/8` as a decimal is `3.125`

Multiply the mixed number converted into a decimal by 100 to convert the mixed number to a percentage.

`3.125xx100=312.50%`

`3 1/8` is `3.125` as a decimal and `312.50%` as a percentage.
