Question

fractions, percents, and decimals

• in math, the fraction bar means divide.
• to change \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) to a percent on your calculator, press: c, 3, \\(\div\\), 4, \\(\times\\), 100
• you should get an answer of 75. this means that \\(\frac{3}{4} = 75\\%\\).

1. convert each fraction to a percent.

Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: converting between fractions, decimals, percents

Step 1: Understand the conversion method

The text explains that a fraction bar means division. To convert a fraction to a percent using a calculator, you divide the top number (numerator) by the bottom number (denominator) and multiply by \(100\).

For example, to convert \(\frac{3}{4}\):

$$ 3 \div 4 \times 100 = 75\% $$

Step 2: Convert the handwritten problems

There are two handwritten fraction conversion problems started at the bottom:

1. First problem: \(\frac{1}{4}\) (indicated by the handwritten \(1 \div 4 =\))

$$ 1 \div 4 \times 100 = 25\% $$

1. Second problem: \(\frac{1}{2}\) (indicated by the handwritten \(1 \div 2\))

$$ 1 \div 2 \times 100 = 50\% $$

Answer:

• \(\frac{1}{4} = 25\%\)
• \(\frac{1}{2} = 50\%\)
