Question

How do you convert 3/8 into a percent and decimal?

Answer 1

use multiplication and division

Explanation:

`3/8=0.375`

`0.375` is `3/8` as a decimal

`0.375xx100=37.5`

`37.5` is `0.375` as a percentage

`3/8` in decimal form is `0.375` and `37.5%` as a percent

`3=` `color(red)n`
`8=` `color(blue)d`
`0.375=` `color(green)x`
`37.5%=` `color(orange)y`

divide the `color(red)n`umerator by the `color(blue)d`enominator

`color(red)n` `-:` `color(blue)d` `=` `color(green)x`

multiply `color(green)x` by `100`

`color(green)x` `xx100` `=` `color(orange)y`
