How Do You Turn a Fraction Into a Percent?

A percent can be rewritten as the value of the percent over 100
We need to divide 100 by the denominator to figure out what to multiply each fraction by to make the denominator 100
Multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number is the same as multiplying by 1
Take the numerator of each fraction and write it with a percent symbol

1. To turn these fractions into percents, we need to write them as something over 100
2. So to figure out what we need to multiply by to give us 100 in the denominator, we need to divide 100 by the denominator
1. We want our denominator to be 100
2. In order to make it 100, we need to multiply it by some number
3. Division is the opposite of multiplication, so if we divide 100 by the denominator it will give us the number we need to multiply by to get 100
1. Remember, to find equivalent fractions we need to multiply the top and bottom by the same thing
2. Since multiplying by something over itself is the same as multiplying by 1, we're not changing the value of the fraction
1. Since multiplying by something over itself is the same as multiplying by 1, we're not changing the value of the fraction
1. The percent symbol means 'per 100'
2. So writing a number with a percent symbol means the same thing as writing it over 100

Write each fraction as a percent: 3/4, 1/5, 7/20
