Explanation:
We know that to convert a percent into fraction we divide it by 100.
Here , we need to express 12% as fraction.
So we divide it by 100, we get
(1)
Now , to simplify we divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF).
Since ,
![12=4*3\\\\ 100=4*25](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/ba6esknmseu5k35wbvqrny5v2ztqi2nh67.png)
So , 4 is the GCF of 12 and 100.
Then divide the numerator and the denominator by 4 in (1) , we get
![(12/4)/(100/)=(3)/(25)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/8fqi5rmxmhedz72y01xvo9jsktflhjsje2.png)
Hence, 12% expressed as
.
