26/45 as a percentage is 57.78%. This value tells you that the fraction is a little more than half of a whole. It’s a handy way to see the size of the fraction at a glance.
When you work with numbers in everyday life, percentages are often easier to compare than fractions. For example, if you earned 57.78% of a possible score on a test, you know you got just over half the points. The same idea works for things like discounts, interest rates, or sports statistics.
Remember that the decimal part of the percentage (the .78) comes from rounding the exact value to two decimal places. This keeps the number simple while still being accurate enough for most practical uses.
