• Convert each of the following percentages into a fraction with 100 as the denominator. (i) 1% (ii) 10% (iii) 28% (iv) 40% (v) 156% (vi) 87%

$\large\boxed{\textsf{\textbf{\red{Answer\::-}}}}$

$1) \: 1\%= \frac{1}{100}$

$2) \: 10\% = \frac{10}{100} = \frac{1}{10}$

$3) \: 28\% = \frac{28}{100}$

$4) \: 40\% = \frac{40}{100} = \frac{4}{10}$

We will follow the following steps for converting a percentage into a fraction:

• Obtain the given percentage. Let it be x %.

• Remove the percentage sign (%) and then divide the number by 100. Therefore, x % = x/100

• Reduce the fraction obtained to its lowest terms as required.
