a) What is a fraction between 25% and
50%? How do you know?

Answer 1

30/100

Explanation:

25%= 25/100

50%= 50/100

3/100 is in the middle of the two fractions. So one of the possible answer can be 30/100 or 30%

Answer 2

`\sf (2)/(5)`

Explanation:

"per cent" means "per hundred". Therefore, to change a percent to a fraction, remove the % sign and place the number as the numerator of a fraction with 100 as the denominator.

`\sf 25\%=(25)/(100)`

`\sf 50\%=(50)/(100)`

Any percent between 25% and 50% can be written as a fraction in the same way.

Choose a number between 25 and 50, place it as the numerator of a fraction with 100 as the denominator:

`\sf (40)/(100)`

Now reduce the fraction to its simplest term by dividing the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor (GCF):

`\sf (40 / 20)/(100/ 20)=(2)/(5)`

Therefore, the fraction ²/₅ is between 25% and 50% as it is equivalent to 40%.
