I think, based on the little info that you gave:), you would have to make 45 7/8 into a mixed number which would be 367/8. then you would have to make that all out of 100. (367/8) / 100) = .45875. Then you could move the decimal place over and you would get 45.875% which when rounded would be 46%. You can do this on a calculator to check by finding the decimal value of 7/8 which is .875, then add 45 to it to get 45.875. when you put this number over 100 you get 45.875/100 or .45875. multiply by 100 to get your percent 45.875%, round, 46%, and thats your answer

To find the percentage of 45 7/8 out of 100 meters, convert it to an improper fraction (367/8), calculate the fraction of 100 (367/800), then convert that to a decimal (0.45875), and finally multiply by 100 to get 45.875%, which rounds to 46%.
