Answer:
45/100, 0.45, 9/20
Explanation:
Answer 1: A percentage is part of a number is written in hundredths. Thus, 45% is the same as 45/100
Answer 2: To convert 45% to a decimal, you can rewrite 45% as 45.0%. Then, you can move the decimal two places to the left, which is the same as dividing by 100. You can also do standard division and you'll find the 45 divided by 100 = 0.45
Answer 3: 45/100 is not the simplest form of this fraction. To simplify, we must find the greatest common factor of the numerator (45) and the denominator (100). Both of these numbers can be divided evenly by 5 so 5 is the GCF of the two numbers.
Now, we divide both numbers by 5 to simplify the fraction:
45 / 5 = 9 and 100 / 5 = 20. Thus, 45/100 reduces down to 9/20
