Solution

Explain conversion of fractions into percentage
A fraction is a number represented in $\frac{p}{q}$ form and consists of a numerator and a denominator.
A percentage is a whole value which is represented with the symbol of percentage, $%$
To convert a fraction into a percentage, it is “multiplied” by $100$ .
For example: Given a fraction $\frac{3}{2}$ . To convert this into percentage we will multiply the fraction by $100$ .
So, the resultant value will be $\frac{3}{2} \times 100 = 150 %$ .
Here, the fraction is represented as a percentage of $100$
Therefore, to convert a fraction into a percent, we multiply it by 100.
