Answer: 593/500
Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a fraction in lowest terms, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.
So here, 118.6% can be written as the ratio 118.6 to 100 or 118.6/100.
To write 118.6/100 in lowest terms, we first will need to multiply the numerator and the denominator by 10 to remove the decimal point. When we do this, we get the equivalent fraction 1186/1000.
Now, we can divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 1186 and 100 which is 2 and we get the equivalent fraction 593/500.
Therefore, 118.6% can be written as the improper fraction 593/500.
