Please read solution process below;

Changing fractions to a decimal you just have to divide the Quotient by the Divisor

For example;

$2/5 -> "Fraction"$

Now dividing $2$ by $5$ ;

$2 div 5 = 0.4 -> "Decimal"$

Changing fractions to a percentage, you just have to multiply the fraction by $100$

For example;

$2/5 -> "Fraction"$

$100% -> "Percentage"$

Now multiplying $2/5$ with $100%$ ;

$(2/5) xx 100% = 0.4 xx 100% = 40%$
