150% = 150 / 100 = 15 / 10 Dividing through by 10.

15 / 10 = 3 / 2 Dividing through by 5.

3 / 2 = 1 and 1/2

In mixed fraction = 1 whole number 1/2.

Answer

1 1/2


Step-by-step explanation

A number expressed as a percentage means it is a fraction out of 100.

For example, x% = x/100

For the question above;

150% = 150/100

= 15/10

= 3/2

As a mixed number, 3/2 = 1 1/2
