18.75% = 3/16 as a fraction
Step by Step Solution
To convert 18.75 percent to a fraction follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this:
18.75% = 18.75/100
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:
As we have 2 digits after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 100, or, simply shift 2 decimal places to the right. So,
18.75/100 = (18.75 x 100)/(100 x 100) = 1875/10000.
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(1875,10000) = 625. So,
(1875÷625)/(10000÷625) = 3/16 when reduced to the simplest form.
