Question

22.4 percent to simple fraction​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 22.4 percent to a fraction follow these steps:

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

22.4% = 22.4/100

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,

22.4/100 = (22.4 x 10)/(100 x 10) = 224/1000.

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(224,1000) = 8. So,

(224÷8)/(1000÷8) = 28/125 when reduced to the simplest form.
