In order to determine the percentage of a given fraction, we must convert it first into decimal.

½ = .5

Now that it is in decimal we can convert it into percentage by multiplying 100, hence in converting a percentage into decimal we divide it by 100.

= (.5)(100) 

= 50%

Therefore ½ is equal to 50%.
