Answer: 1 2/5 = Mixed number, 7/5 as a fraction
Explanation:
7/5 = Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this:
140% = 140/100
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:
As 140 is an integer, we don't have numbers after the decimal point. So, we just go to step 3.
Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(140,100) = 20. So,
(140÷20)/(100÷20) = 7/5 when reduced to the simplest form.
1 2/5 = Write down the percentage divided by 100 without % symbol.
If the percentage is not a whole number, then multiply both numerator and denominator by 10^n (where n is the number of digits after the decimal point)
Simplify the fraction
Using the above steps, here is the math showing you how to convert 140 percent to fraction
= 140%
= 140/100
You can simplify this fraction :
Find greatest common factor of 140 and 100
GCF(140,100) = 20
140 ÷ 20/100 ÷ 20
=
7/5.
