Math decimal and percent help?

Question

how do you write 3/8 as a decimal and percent?

Answer 1

fractions are just divisions so you can put 3/8 as 3 over 8 and divide 3 by 8 to get .375

once you have the decimal. and to find the percentage all you have to do is multiply that decimal by a 100 which is moving the decimal 2 spaces to the right. which gives you 37.5%

Answer 2

Just divide 3 into 8 to see what the decimal form is:

0.375

Now from there, just multiply it by 100 to get the percent:

37.5%
