Hi, there--

You want to represent the fraction, 112/70, as a percent.

One way to solve this problem is to divide 112 by 70. The answer is a decimal number that we can convert to a percent pretty easily.

.
We can write a decimal number as a percent by multiplying it by 100.

.
So 112/70 is equivalent to 160%. It makes sense that our percent would be greater than 100% because 112/70 is greater than 1 (The numerator is greater than the denominator.)

I hope this helps! If you are confused about my solution, feel free to email me.
