1 Answer

Jun 27, 2016

Use division and multiplication.

Explanation:

Divide the numerator by the denominator and add the whole number to convert a mixed fraction into a decimal.

$\frac{1}{8} = 0.125$ $1/8=0.125$ $0.125 + 3 = 3.125$ $0.125+3=3.125$

$3 \frac{1}{8}$ $3 1/8$ as a decimal is $3.125$ $3.125$

Multiply the mixed number converted into a decimal by 100 to convert the mixed number to a percentage.

$3.125 \times 100 = 312.50 %$ $3.125xx100=312.50%$

$3 \frac{1}{8}$ $3 1/8$ is $3.125$ $3.125$ as a decimal and $312.50 %$ $312.50%$ as a percentage.
