Converting Fractions to Percents

In this video, Mr. J explains how to convert the fraction 2/3 into a percent. The process involves dividing the numerator by the denominator to get a decimal, identifying repeating decimals, and then converting the decimal to a percent by multiplying by 100. Mr. J also discusses how to round repeating decimals to the nearest tenth and whole percent, providing different methods for expressing repeating decimals as percents.
