Default Coversion Of Fractions To Percentages

One of my hobbies is horse racing and I am faced with the following problem.

If one converts an incomplete fraction like 5/4 (1.25 decimal), as a
percentage it equals 44%.

Likewise 2/1 (2.0), 33%.

How can I type fractions as above in one cell, and convert/replace them
to a percentage as above in another cell? The conversion does not have
to be formatted as a percentage, just a number to use for calculations
in the next stage.
