Fraction: #1.3=13/10# or #1 3/10#

Percent: #1.3= 130%#

Explanation:

I am not sure what you mean by "percent" in this instance. Usually it has to be a percentage of something. But if you refer to the basic meaning of percent, i.e. "per 100", where #1 = 100/100=100%#, then
#1.3= 130/100=130%#

Fraction: the meaning of #.3# is #3/10#, so
#1.3=13/10# or #1 3/10#

#1 3/10#, #13/10#, or #130%#.

Explanation:

To convert decimals into fractions, say the number out loud. "One and three tenths." Now write that down, and you have your number in mixed fraction form: #1 3/10#.

If you want the number as an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator, and add that to the numerator. #(10+3)/10 = 13/10#

Finally, percent. When you are given a decimal, simply multiply the decimal by 100% to get your answer. #1.3 * 100% = 130%#

Fraction: #13/10#

Percent: #130%#

Explanation:

To convert a number with decimals to a fraction, simply multiply by by a power of ten to get rid of the decimal places and write your fraction as this number over the power of ten you used. Finally simplify if possible.

E.g 1.75 as a fraction = #175/10# = #35/2#

To convert a number with decimals to a percentage, multiply by 100 and append the percent sign.

E.g 1.75 as a percentage = #1.75*100%# = #175%#
