Um... (insert fraction here) times 360degrees.



Or: (numerator)times 360 all divided by the denominator





example1: 1/2 times 360 becomes: 360/2 = 180



example2: 2/3times 360 becomes 2(360)/3



or 720/3=240

The only reason you would do that would be if you wanted to know something like "how many degrees are in 3/4 of a circle?" or something like that. So you just multiple normally 3/4*(360 degrees) =3/4*360 degrees =270 degrees

x = numerator



y = denominator
