Calculator?
Without a calculator, look to get the denominator to be 100.
So to get from 75 to 100, I need to multiply by 1 (which takes me to 75) and then by (1/3)(75)=25 to get me to 100).
So multiply numerator and denominator by 1%261%2F3.
So then,
%282%2F75%29%2A%28%284%2F3%29%2F%284%2F3%29%29=%288%2F3%29%2F100
So,
8%2F3=2.6667
Dividing by 100 would make it,
2%2F75=0.026667
