Question

What’s 40% in fraction

Answer 1

40% in a fraction is 2/5 it is also 0.4 in a decimal if you're curious 

Answer 2

To write a percent as a fraction in lowest terms, we need to remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

40% can be written as the ratio
`(40)/(100)`.
`(40)/(100)` is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by 20 which gives us
`(2)/(5)`.

Therefore, 40% can be written as the fraction
`(2)/(5)`.
