percent means parts out of 100 so x%=x/100
convert to improper fraction for in x/y form so

2 and 3/8
2=16/8
2 and 3/8=16/8+3/8=19/8
convert bottom number to 100
one way is multiply whole thing by 100/100
19/8 times 100/100=1900/800
divide by 8
237.5/100=237.5%
that is precent
another way is divide completely
19/8=2.375
that is over 1 so convert to over 100 so
2.375/1 times 100/100=237.5/100=237.5%

answe ris 237.5%
