How do you do the whole percent thingy?

Hey! I need help converting fractions into decimals, and finding out how to get the percent of a number. If somebody could teach me a strategy/method to figure this out that would be great.

punch in your calculator the fraction and the decimals are the percent.

Explanation:

such as #1/2=.5# is also #50%#
basically just do either long had division or punch it in your calculator then time the decimal by 100 and that is the percentage

So, let's say you have #3/4^# and you need to turn that into a decimal. You should remember, that fractions are just division. You turn it into a division problem by doing this:

#3 รท 4#

If you do the math in a calculator, or just by hand, you should get #0.75#, so now you know that #3/4^# = #0.75#
