Converting 3/8 (or any fraction) into a percentage is a two-step process. First, calculate the "decimal equivalent" of 3/8. Second, multiply the decimal equivalent by 100 to convert to the percentage value.

3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

0.375 × 100 = 37.5%

37.5%

First, convert the fraction 3/8 so that the 8 becomes 100. Always do that when you're trying to convert fractions into percentages. You do that by multiplying the 3 and the 8 by 12.5 (the way I found out the number 12.5 was by doing 100 divided by 8. Just do 100 divided by the bottom number, and then multiply the bottom and the top by that number). So then you get 37.5/100. Then it's easy to find out the percentage from there. Hope that made sense!

Can someone explain step by step how to do this??????????

Guest Feb 9, 2017 #110

What you need to do, is know that 8 is equal to 100%. You have 3 eight's. 100 divided by 8 is equal to 12.5% Multiply that by 3, and you have 37.5% which is 3/8! Hope this helped, I'm thirteen, so...

Guest Feb 10, 2017 #120

Or you can literally just do 3 divided by 8 which is 0.375 then move the decimal to the right 2 places to get 37.5%
