Final answer:
Eric's answer is wrong because 62% is not equal to the fraction 6/2. To convert a percentage to a fraction, divide the percentage by 100. Eric can fix his answer by converting the percentage to a decimal and then simplifying it.
Step-by-step explanation:
Eric's answer is wrong because 62% is not equal to the fraction 6/2. To convert a percentage to a fraction, we divide the percentage by 100 and then simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, 62% divided by 100 equals 0.62. To simplify the fraction, we need to find a common factor for 62 and 2, but there are no common factors. Therefore, 62% cannot be simplified to 6/2.
To fix Eric's answer, he should convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100 and then simplify the resulting decimal into a fraction if possible.
