Understanding Fraction to Percent Conversion
Converting a fraction to a percentage is straightforward: divide the numerator by the denominator, then multiply by 100. The formula is:
Percentage = (Numerator ÷ Denominator) × 100
For example, to convert 3/4 to a percentage: (3 ÷ 4) × 100 = 0.75 × 100 = 75%
