Convert it into a decimal $1/10=0.1$

Change a decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100

$0.1=10%$

so $1/10=10%$

$10%$

When we convert a fraction into a percentage, it would be nice if the denominator is $100$ , because the numerator would be the percent.

Here's what I mean:

We can multiply the top and the bottom of our fraction by $10$ to obtain the equivalent fraction

$1/10 color(blue)(xx 10/10) =10/100$

Since percents are out of $100$ , and our denominator is $100$ , the numerator is the percent.

$10/100=10%$

Hope this helps!

Here are some examples:

$1/2*100%=50%$

$3/4*100%=3*25=75%$

$6/5*100%=6*20=120%$

$1/10*100%=10%$
