Question

If you answered 85% of the questions on a test correctly what's the fraction of the questions you answered correctly ?

Answer 1

There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write .85 (85%) as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .85 means. Since there are 2 digits in 85, the very last digit is the "100th" decimal place. So we can just say that .85 is the same as 85/100.

Answer 2

If you answered 85% of the questions correct, the fraction would be 85/100, however, you can simplify it to 17/20 by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 5. Hope this helps! :)
