To change a fraction to a percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and then multiply the result by:
A) 0.01
B) 0.1
C) 10
D) 100
D) 100
To change a fraction to a percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and then multiply the result by 100. (Then, add the percent symbol.) For example, to find the percentage that is equivalent to the fraction 3/12, first divide: 3 ÷ 12, which equals 0.25. Multiply the result by 100. Thus so, 0.25 ×100 = 25. Then, add the percent sign. Therefore, 25% is equivalent to 3/12.
