Complete the sentence to explain how to use mental math to express \(\frac{12}{25}\) as a percent:

Multiply the numerator and denominator by \(4\).

To get \(48/100\) which is the same as \(48\%\).

Answer :

Answer:

48%

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, there is the rule that we can multiply numerator and denominator by the same number. So we have to find that number for our case.

As the denomiator in our example is 25 we have to find by which number we have to multiply it to get 100.

It will be 100/25 and it will be 4.

Now we have to multiply numerator and denominator by 4.And we'll get 48/100 and it will be 48%.
