How to Convert Fractions to Percentages

There are two main ways to convert a fraction into a percent:

1. The Denominator Way - converting the fraction to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100.
2. The Decimal Way - converting the fraction to a decimal and then converting the decimal to a percent.

Denominator Method
