To write 150% as a fraction or mixed number, we need to remember that percent means per hundred or out of 100, which can also be written as a fraction of 100/1.

150% can be written as:

1.5 as a decimal

or

150/100 in fraction form

We can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor, which is 50:

150/100 = (150 ÷ 50) / (100 ÷ 50) = 3/2

So, 150% can be written as the fraction 3/2 or the mixed number 1 1/2.
