Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

12.4% = 31/250 as a fraction

Step by Step Solution

To convert 12.4 percent to a fraction follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this:

12.4% = 12.4/100

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 1 digit after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 10, or, simply shift 1 decimal place to the right. So,

12.4/100 = (12.4 x 10)/(100 x 10) = 124/1000.

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(124,1000) = 4. So,

(124÷4)/(1000÷4) = 31/250 when reduced to the simplest form.
