    To convert a fraction to a decimal divide the denominator into the numerator

    Change mixed numbers to improper fractions first

    3 3/4 = 15/4 = 3 .75

    To change a fraction to a percent multiply by 100

    3 3/4 = 15/4 x 100/1 = 1500/4 = 375 %

    You would add it, unless it specifically tells you to multiply it or it has the multiplication sign between the 3 & the fraction. So, the decimal version would be 3.75. Hope I helped!
