Answer 2

Hey there!

Here is your question that you need help with:

140% as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form

Percents are out of 100. In this question, the percent is 140. To write that as a fraction, you would make 140 the numerator and 100 as the denominator.

`140 \% = (140)/(100)`

Your fraction is an improper fraction, which is a fraction that has a higher numerator than denominator. To make it proper, you have to change it into a mixed number.

First you have to remove 100 and make it 1 since 1/100 times 100 is equal to 1.

`(140)/(100) = 1 (40)/(100)`

You need to simplify the fraction. Since both numbers are divisible by 10, divide both of them by 10.

`1 (40 / 10)/(100 / 10) = 1 (4)/(10)`

Both numbers are divisible by 2 since they're even. Divide by 2:

`1 (4 / 2)/(10 / 2) = 1 (2)/(5)`

Your answer is
`1 (2)/(5)`

Hope this helps! :)
