Mixed Number to Percent

$3\frac{3}{4} = 3.75 = 375\%$Solution 1
$3\frac{3}{4} = 3 + \frac{3}{4}$$= \frac{3}{1} + \frac{3}{4}$$= \left(\frac{3}{1} \times \frac{4}{4} \right) + \frac{3}{4}$$= \frac{12}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{4}$$= 15 \div 4 = 3.75$Convert the Decimal to a Percent:$= 3.75 \times 100 = 375\%$Solution 2
$3\frac{3}{4} = 3 + \frac{3}{4}$$3 + (3 \div 4)$$3 + 0.75 = 3.75$Convert the Decimal to a Percent:$= 3.75 \times 100 = 375\%$

## How to convert a mixed number to a percent

A mixed number such as 2 3/4 can be converted to a decimal, and then to a percentage. It is implied that 2 3/4 is really 2 + 3/4 and that 2 = 2/1. Therefore we are just adding the fractions 2/1 + 3/4. Since 4 is the denominator of the original fraction part we will use it as our common denominator. 2/1 * 4/4 = 8/4. Then, 8/4 + 3/4 = 11/4. 11/4 = 11 ÷ 4 = 2.75. Converting the decimal to a percent we multiply by 100, so 2.75 * 100 = 275%.

2 3/4 = 2/1 + 3/4 = 8/4 + 3/4 = 11/4 = 11 ÷ 4 = 2.75; 2.75 * 100 = 275%

As you may have noticed, 2.75 is just the whole part of 2 3/4 added to 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. This is certainly another valid approach to converting mixed numbers to decimals. Just be aware of mixed numbers that contain improper fractional parts. For example, 7 5/4 can be converted in 2 different ways:

7 5/4 = 7/1 + 5/4 = 28/4 + 5/4 = 33/4 = 33 ÷ 4 = 8.25 or 825%, or

7 5/4 = 7 + (5 ÷ 4) = 7 + 1.25 = 8.25 or 825%
