How do you convert 3 3/4 into a decimal and percent?

Answer 1

See below.

To turn #3# #3/4# to a decimal, you must first convert it to an improper fraction, to do that you multiply the whole number (#3#) and the denominator (#4#).

#4# X #3# #=# #12#

Then you add the product of #3# and #4# (#12#) to the numerator (#3#)

#3# #+# #12# #=# #15#

You then make the sum of the numerator and the product of the whole number and denominator into the numerator.

This leaves us with #15/3#

Now, to make that into a percent is easy.

#15/3# X #x/100#

You need the multiply #15# and #100#

#15# X #100# #=# #1500#

Then you divide the product by #3#

#1500/3# = #500#

The percent is #500%#

To convert 3 3/4 into a decimal, you divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (4) and then add the whole number part (3). So, 3 3/4 as a decimal is 3 + 3/4 = 3 + 0.75 = 3.75.

To convert 3 3/4 into a percent, you first convert it to a decimal (3.75) and then multiply by 100. So, 3 3/4 as a percent is 3.75 × 100 = 375%.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
