Answer:

as a fraction is 5/4 and as a percentage 125%

Explanation:

1.25/1

Answer:

1.25 = 5/4 = 125%

Explanation:

Percentage

Multiply by 100% to express it as a percentage:

1.25 × 100% = 125%

Fraction

You can recognize that % means /100, so this percentage is the same as the fraction

125% = 125/100

Factors of 25 can be removed from numerator and denominator to reduce the fraction.

125/100 = (25·5)/(25·4) = 5/4
