Answer 1

The percentage is 37.5%

Answer 2

Answer: 37.5%

Step-by-step explanation: To write a fraction as a percent,

first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100.

So to write 3/8 as a percent, we need to find a fraction

equivalent to 3/8 that a has a 100 in the denominator.

We can do this by setting up a proportion.

So we have $\frac{3}{8} = \frac{n}{100}$.

Now, we can use cross-products to find the missing value.

So we have (3)(100) which is 300 is equal to (8)(n) or 8n.

So we have the equation 300 = 8n.

Next, dividing both sides of the equation by 8, we have 37.5 = n.

So, 3/8 is equal to 37.5 over 100 or 37.5%.
