Question

what percentage is equivalent to 3/8
​

Answer 1

37.5%

.....................

Answer 2

Any time the denominator is a power of two, (such as 8=2*2*2) you have an easy time of it. Multiplying numerator and denominator by the same thing doesn’t change the value of the fraction.

So 3/8 =15/40

(we’re multiplying by 5 top and bottom and it seems this just makes things worse but bear with me)

=75/200=375/1000.

Now percents are fractions out of 100, so finally, =37.5/100, that is,

37.5 %
