Fractions and percents are ways to show parts of a whole. We want to tell which number is greater.
37/50, 37 %
To do this, we will write a fraction as a percent. To write a fraction as a percent, we first find an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100.
37/50=x/100
We multiply 50 by 2 to get 100, so we will also multiply 37 by 2 to get an equivalent fraction.
We found that 3750 and 74100 are equivalent fractions. Now we can write the new fraction as a percent by looking at the numerator and adding a percent symbol.
37/50=74/100= 74 %
Since 74 is greater than 37, 74 % is greater than 37 %. This means that 3750 is greater than 37 %.
