$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{75}{100} = 0.75 = 75 %$ $3/4 = 75/100 = 0.75 = 75%$

To change a fraction into a decimal there are two methods:

Method 1. Find an equivalent fraction with the denominator as a power of 10.

10 is not divisible by 4, so change 4 into 100.
Do the same to the numerator and denominator.

$\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{25}{25} = \frac{75}{100}$ $3/4 xx 25/25 = 75/100$

$\frac{75}{100} can now be written as 0.75 or 75 %$ $75/100 " can now be written as "0.75 or 75%$

Method 2: $\frac{3}{4}$ $3/4$ means $3 \div 4$ $3 div 4$

$4) 3 .^{3} 0^{2} 0$ $4)3. ^(3)0 ^2 0$
$0.7 5$ $" "0.7 5$
