Same idea as the last one except that this one does not turn out so evenly...
5/7 = ?/100
Here we multiply 7 by 100/7 to get to 100, so that we must multiply the 5 by the same 100/7, and our answer looks like this...
5/7 = (500/7)/100

5%2F7=x%2F100
Take 100 divided by 7. Multiply it by 5.
5%28100%2F7%29%2F7%28100%2F7%29=%28x%2F100%29
%28500%2F7%29%2F100=%28x%2F100%29
