If a fraction doesn't have an easy denominator to convert (one that doesn't divide into 100), then multiply the numerator by 100, then divide by the denominator. As examples:
Write 3/8 as a percent.
300 ÷ 8 = 37.5
3/8 = 37.5%
Write 4/7 as a percent.
400 ÷ 7 = 57.142857142857...
4/7 ≈ 57.1%

Take the fraction and use the following equation.
For example,,,,,
4 = n
_ ___
5 100
Then,,,,
4 (100) = 5 (n)
400 = 5 (n)
400 divided by 5 = 5 (n) divided by 5
80 = n
n = 80%
Answer is 80%
The above equation using the example of 4/5 is how you change fractions to a percent.
Use it. It is so helpful!

Divide the numerator by the denominator and move the decimal point two places to the right (multiply by 100) and add the percent sign

you first see if your denominator goes in to a hundred then how ever many times it goes into the denominator times it by the nummerator then turn the nummerator into a percent. Example:
25/50 50 divided by 100 = 2
25 times 2 = 50
so 50%

Somehow turn the bottom number so that it turns into 100. Then do the same thing to make the top number that way as well.
Example:
5/10. Multiple 10 by 10 to make it 100. Then multiply 5 by 10 to make it 50. There you go. 50 percent.

divide the bottom # into the top # ex. 3/4>% u do 3 divided by 4. you take that number and put it as a decimal (it should already be decimal form.) 3 divided by 4= .75 you take .75 and move the decimal ove 2 places to the right. so you will get 75. that is your percent. 75%. e-mail me if you still need help.

just divide the numerator by the denominator
then take the answer and move the decimal place over two spots to the right
ex.)
2/4 = .5 = 50%
3/9 = .3333333 = 33.333333%

Divide the number on top by the number on the bottom. Long division.
Example: 1/2 is 1 divided by 2
If you do the long division you get 0.5

Multiply the top number by 100 and then divide by the denominator. There you go
