Convert the fraction 3/4 to a percent.

Convert the fraction 3/4 to a percent.

• A. 75%
• B. 25%
• C. 60%
• D. 50%

Answer: (A)

Converting a fraction to a percent is done by turning the fraction into a decimal and then into a percent, or by scaling the denominator to 100. For 3/4, 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75, and 0.75 × 100 = 75%. Another way is to multiply top and bottom by 25 to get 75/100, which is 75%. So the percent form is 75%, which matches three quarters. The other options correspond to different fractions: 25% is 1/4, 60% is 3/5, and 50% is 1/2, none of which equal 3/4.
