If you're a bit perplexed about converting percentages to fractions, think of it simply: percentages are simply fractions with a denominator of 100! For example, 25% translates to \( \frac{25}{100} \), which simplifies to \( \frac{1}{4} \). Similarly, 60% becomes \( \frac{60}{100} \) or \( \frac{3}{5} \). How cool is it that you can convert these numbers just by visualizing them as parts of a hundred? Now, flipping the script to fractions as percentages can be equally fun! To get from a fraction to a percentage, you multiply it by 100. So, for \( \frac{3}{4} \), it's \( \frac{3}{4} \times 100 = 75\% \). The journey from \( \frac{7}{10} \) to a dazzling 70% follows the same path. It’s like turning up the volume on your favorite song—just a quick mathematical adjustment to get grooving with those percentages!
