Question

How do you write 120% as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form?

Answer 1

The word 'percent' means 'for every 100' or 'per 100'. And the word 'per' can be the fraction line that separate the numerator and denominator.

So, 120% can be read as '120 per 100'.
`(120)/(100)`

Simplify.


`(120)/(100) = (12)/(10) = (6)/(5)`

Convert the improper fraction into a mixed number.


`(6)/(5) = 1 (1)/(5)`

So, 1 1/5 is the answer.

Answer 2

6/5 should be correct
