Frequently asked
How do you convert a fraction to a percentage?
Divide the numerator by the denominator to get a decimal, then multiply by 100. For example 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%.
Why multiply by 100?
Percent means 'per hundred', so multiplying a decimal by 100 expresses it as a number out of 100.
Can a fraction be more than 100%?
Yes. An improper fraction like 5/4 equals 125%.
