Question

How to turn 40 percent to a fraction

Answer 1

4/10 or 4/100

Explanation:

100% is 100/100 which is 1. 40% is 40/100 which is 0.4. 40/100 can be simplified to 4/10 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 10.

Answer 2

"Per cent", or percent, means "one part in every hundred", so you would simply put your percentage over the denominator of 100, then simplify.

In your case, you would get
`(40)/(100)` by this method.

Simplified to the smallest possible fraction, you would get
`(2)/(5)`.
