How to Convert a Fraction to a Percentage?

To convert a fraction to a percentage, you either expand it to a base of 100 (i.e., make the denominator 100) or convert it to a decimal and then multiply by 100. For fractions with whole numbers, first convert the integer and the fraction separately, then add them together. Follow these steps to convert a fraction to a percentage:

1. Convert the fraction to a decimal

The fraction \(\frac{a}{b}\) is converted to a decimal by calculating \(a \div b\).

2. Multiply by 100 and add the percent symbol

Multiply the resulting decimal by 100 to get the percentage.

3. Add the integer portion and the percentage (if applicable)

For mixed fractions, convert the integer part to a percentage first, then add it to the percentage obtained from the fraction part.

Examples

Example 1: Convert \(\frac{3}{4}\) to a percentage

Solution:

1. Convert the fraction to a decimal:

\( 3 \div 4 = 0.75\)

2. Multiply by 100:

\( 0.75 \times 100 = 75\)

Result: \(\frac{3}{4} = 75\%\).

Example 2: Convert the mixed fraction \(2\frac{1}{5}\) to a percentage

Solution:

1. Convert the integer part to a percentage:

\(2\) becomes \(200\%\).

2. Convert the fraction part to a decimal and multiply by 100:

\( 1 \div 5 = 0.2\)

\( 0.2 \times 100 = 20\%\)

3. Add the results:

\( 200\% + 20\% = 220\%\)

Result: \(2\frac{1}{5} = 220\%\).

Example 3: Convert the fraction \(\frac{5}{8}\) to a percentage

Solution:

Convert the fraction to a decimal and multiply by 100:

\( 5 \div 8 = 0.625\)

\( 0.625 \times 100 = 62.5\)

Result: \(\frac{5}{8} = 62.5\%\).
