#33.33%#

Explanation:

The "percent form" is the calculated division indicated by the fraction, multiplied by 100 ("per cent").

#1/3 = 0.33333# ; #0.33333 xx 100 = 33.3333%#

The division result is actually less accurate than the fraction in this case because it results in an infinitely repeating decimal. For practical reasons this would be truncated with only 3-5 digits.
