Question

How do you convert 3 3/4 into a decimal and percent?

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

To turn `3` `3/4` to a decimal, you must first convert it to an improper fraction, to do that you multiply the whole number (`3`) and the denominator (`4`).

`4` X `3` `=` `12`

Then you add the product of `3` and `4` (`12`) to the numerator (`3`)

`3` `+` `12` `=` `15`

You then make the sum of the numerator and the product of the whole number and denominator into the numerator.

This leaves us with `15/3`

Now, to make that into a percent is easy.

`15/3` X `x/100`

You need the multiply `15` and `100`

`15` X `100` `=` `1500`

Then you divide the product by `3`

`1500/3` = `500`

The percent is `500%`
