Please read solution process below;

Changing fractions to a decimal you just have to divide the Quotient by the Divisor

For example;

$\frac{2}{5} \to Fraction$ $2/5 -> "Fraction"$

Now dividing $2$ $2$ by $5$ $5$ ;

$2 \div 5 = 0.4 \to Decimal$ $2 div 5 = 0.4 -> "Decimal"$

Changing fractions to a percentage, you just have to multiply the fraction by $100$ $100$

For example;

$\frac{2}{5} \to Fraction$ $2/5 -> "Fraction"$

$100 % \to Percentage$ $100% -> "Percentage"$

Now multiplying $\frac{2}{5}$ $2/5$ with $100 %$ $100%$ ;

$(\frac{2}{5}) \times 100 % = 0.4 \times 100 % = 40 %$ $(2/5) xx 100% = 0.4 xx 100% = 40%$
