Hello there.

Question: How do you convert 250% into a fraction.

Answer: Step 1: Factor both the numerator and denominator down to prime factors:
250 = 2 * 53
100 = 22 * 52
Step 2: Calculate the greatest common factor, GCF
GCF = (2 * 53; 22 * 52) = 2 * 52
Step 3: Divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, 250/100 =
(2 * 53)/(22 * 52) =
((2 * 53) : (2 * 52)) / ((22 * 52) : (2 * 52)) =
5/2
Ways of writing this:

Positive improper fraction:
250/100 = 5/2

Mixed number (also called mixed fraction):
250/100 = 2 1/2

Decimal number:
250/100 = 2.5

In short, Your answer is 5/2.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^
