Answer:

Option d 250%

solution

Detailed calculations below:

A fraction consists of two numbers and a fraction bar:

$\frac{5}{2}$

The number above the bar is the numerator: 5

The number below the bar is the denominator: 2

Divide the numerator by the denominator to get fraction's value:

Val = 5 ÷ 2

Percent, p%

'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

p% = p 'out of one hundred',

p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.

Calculate fraction's value.

Divide the numerator by the denominator to get fraction's value:

$\frac{5}{2} = 5 \div 2 = 2.5$

Note:

$\frac{100}{100} = 100 \div 100 = 100\% = 1$

Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100, and its value doesn't change.

Calculate the percent value:

2.5 = 2.5 × 100/100

= (2.5 × 100)/100

= 250/100 = 250%
