Question

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.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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 ÷ 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`
