Write the fraction as a percent. \( \frac{3}{8} \)

To convert the fraction \( \frac{3}{8} \) into a percent, you can multiply it by 100. So, \( \frac{3}{8} \times 100 = 37.5\% \). That means for every 100 parts, 37.5 of them are represented by the fraction \( \frac{3}{8} \). It’s like getting a slice of pizza; if you have 8 slices and you take 3, that's 37.5% of the whole pizza! Remember, it helps to know that the fraction can also be represented as a decimal first. Dividing 3 by 8 gives you 0.375, and then multiplying that by 100 gives you 37.5%. This trick works for any fraction you want to turn into a shiny percent!
