#3/4 = 75/100 = 0.75 = 75%#

Explanation:

To change a fraction into a decimal there are two methods:

Method 1. Find an equivalent fraction with the denominator as a power of 10.

10 is not divisible by 4, so change 4 into 100.
Do the same to the numerator and denominator.

#3/4 xx 25/25 = 75/100#

#75/100 " can now be written as "0.75 or 75%#

Method 2: #3/4 # means #3 div 4#

# 4)3. ^(3)0 ^2 0#
#" "0.7 5 #
