Question

26% as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:
`(13)/(50)`

Step-by-step explanation: Any percent can be written as the percent over 100, as shown below:

`(26)/(100)`

To simplify this, we need to find a number that is divisible into both numbers equally. Well, 2 goes into both 26 and 100! Let's try that:

`(26)/(100)`

26 ÷ 2 = 13

100 ÷ 2 = 50

`(13)/(50)`

Answer 2

Rewrite 26% as a fraction:

26% = 0.26

The 6 is in the hundredths place, so the fraction would be 26 over 100:

26/100

Now simplify the fraction:

Both numbers are even and can be divided by 2:

26/ 2 = 13

100/2 = 50

Simplest form = 13/50
