Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

305% = 61/20 = 31/20 as a fraction

Step by Step Solution

To convert 305 percent to a fraction follow these steps:

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

305% = 305/100

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

As 305 is an integer, we don't have numbers after the decimal point. So, we just go to step 3.

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(305,100) = 5. So,

(305÷5)/(100÷5) = 61/20 when reduced to the simplest form.

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 305/100 is also equal to 3 1/20 when expressed as a mixed number
