1)

Fraction is:

`(5)/(4)`

2)

No, we will not need any more tickets.

Explanation:

It is given that:

You have 125% of the tickets required for a souvenir.

We are asked to find:

what fraction of the required tickets do you have?

do you have do you need more tickets for the souvenir?

1)

Firstly we have to find the fraction of the tickets.

i.e. we have to represent 125% in term of the fraction.

We know that 125% could be represented as:

`(125)/(100)=(25* 5)/(25* 4)=(5)/(4)`

Hence,
`(5)/(4)` is the required fraction.

2)

No, we will not need any more tickets for the souvenir.

Because you will actually have 1/4 of the tickets needed left over. ( Also it could be seen that the fraction is greater than 1).
