landon34 · Answer

this is the first time I have done this in a long time.

mathmale · Answer

You are comparing 12 to 75.  Write that as a fraction:  12 on top of 75.

mathmale · Answer

Next, evaluate that fraction, using either a calculator or long division.

ok.

mathmale · Answer

I'd hoped you'd actually write out and share that fraction?   12/75.  
Please evaluate (find the value of) this fraction with a calculator or thru long division.
Have you been able to do that already?

mathmale · Answer

you could also factor 12 into factors 3 and 4 
and factor 75 into factors 3 and 25
...meaning that you're now dealing with 4/25.

Multiply that by 100%.
