Let's say we have the problem 1/5. What do we do first? We need to do 1/5, which is .2, now multiply by 100. You should come up with the number 20. Which is also 20%. Great job! Let's do another one. How about 1/8. This comes to .125, now multiply this by 100. You should come up with 12.5%. Did you?
