Hi!

A percent as a fraction is always x/100.

So 150% is 150/100.

-----------------------------------------

Now simplify by finding the greatest common factor.

150: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75

100: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50

The GCF is 50

-----------------------------------------

150/50=3

100/50=2

3/2

-----------------------------------------

The answer is 3/2

Hope this helps! :)
