Here is your fraction:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
You need to change it into:
DECIMAL
Let's start with decimal. To change a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator(number on the top of a fraction) by the denominator(number in the bottom of a fraction). In this fraction, the numerator is 1 and the denominator is 2. That means you need to divide 1 by 2.
Divide:
[tex]1 \div 2 = 0.5[/tex]
Your answer as a decimal is 0.5
PERCENTAGE
To change a fraction into a percentage, it's easier to have the decimal form. We have already found the decimal form, which is 0.5. Now, all you need to do is move the decimal point 2 places to the right and add a percent sign.
First move the decimal point 2 places to the right:
[tex]0.5 \rightarrow 50[/tex]
Now add the percent sign:
[tex]50 \rightarrow 50 \%[/tex]
Your answer as a percent sign is 50%

Decimal: 0.5
Percent: 50%

Remember:
Fraction to decimal → Divide the numerator(number on the top of a fraction) by the denominator(number in the bottom of fraction)
Fraction to percentage → Find the decimal form. Then move the decimal point 2 places to the right and add a percent sign.
