In this case, divide 3 by 4:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>3 \u00f7 4 = 0.75<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, 9\/12 as a decimal is <strong>0.75<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Convert to a Percent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply the decimal by 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>0.75 \u00d7 100 = 75\\%<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, 9\/12 as a percent is <strong>75%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation of Two Methods to Solve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1: Division Method<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can directly convert the fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator. For 9\/12, divide 9 by 12:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>9 \u00f7 12 = 0.75<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have the decimal, multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>0.75 \u00d7 100 = 75\\%<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 2: Simplification Method<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Simplify the fraction before converting it. As shown earlier, 9\/12 simplifies to 3\/4. Then, use known fraction-to-decimal conversions. Since 3\/4 is a common fraction, we know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\frac{3}{4} = 0.75<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes converting to a decimal easier. From there, multiply by 100 to get the percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both methods give the same results, but simplifying first can make the calculation quicker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Write 9\/12 as a decimal and asa percent.
