Question

express each of the following percents as fractions in the simplest form 89%
​

Answer 1

Answer:

A percentage is an amount out of 100. So .45% is 0.45/100.

For me, it’s easiest to just multiply the numerator and denominator by 100 to get rid of the decimal, giving me 45/10,000. Dividing the numerator and denominator by 5 give 9/2000, which is in simplest form.

If you mean 45%, that’s 45/100. 5 is the greatest common factor, giving 9/20.
