Let's express the info as a fraction, but keep aware of some facts.
1 dollar has 100 cents or pennies, therefore, we have 9 out of 100 cents of a dollar, and that is:
9/100
that is the fraction we are looking for

Answer: 9 pennies is the fraction of dollar is
(9)/(100)

Since we have given that

Number of pennies = 9

As we know that

1 penny = 100 dollars

so, Let the x be the fraction of a dollar is 9 pennies.

According to question,


x* 100=9\\\\x=(9)/(100)

Hence, 9 pennies is the fraction of dollar is
(9)/(100)
