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 3/7 as a percent, we need to find a fraction
equivalent to 3/7 that has a 100 in the denominator.
We can do this by setting up a proportion.
So we have [tex]\frac{3}{7} = \frac{n}{100}[/tex].
Now, we can use cross-products to find the missing value.
So we have (3)(100) which is 300 is equal to (7)(n) or 7n.
So we have the equation 300 = 7n.
Next, dividing both sides of the equation by 7, we have 42.8571 = n.
So 3/7 is equal to 42.8571/100 or 42.8571%.
