- Decimal
First, change the mixed fraction to improper, you get
#-13/4#
Now, you need to change it to 10,100,1000,etc.
It can be changed to 10 but doing it with 100 will make it easier for you to understand
#(-13xx25)/(4xx25)#
#-325/100#
It is easy to make this decimal
#-3.25# - Percentage
When we write %, we mean#/100# , so#x%# means#x/100#
In the upper case, while making it a decimal, we made it a fraction with a denominator 100, that means it is the perent
#-325/100=-325%#
