Fractions as Percents
Learning Objective
I can convert fractions to percents.
Key Concepts
To convert a fraction to a percent, you can divide the numerator by the denominator, resulting in a decimal, which you then multiply by 100.
An alternative method to convert a fraction to a percent is to change the denominator to 10, 100, or 1000, then express the fraction as a percentage.
When you get a repeating decimal, you can represent the percent by using a bar over the repeating digit, or you can round to the nearest tenth, hundredth, or whole percent.
