Question

Change 7½% to fraction in its lowest term​

Answer 1

Answer: 3/40

Explanation:

To change 7 1/2% to fraction percent

multiply 7x2 then add 1

=15/2% but this is still a percent, in order to change to a decimal we still need to divide by 100

=
`(15)/(2) / 100` rules for dividing is Keep the first, change the sign, flip the second

=
`(15)/(2) *(1)/(100)` reduce by dividing 15 by 5 and 100 by 5

=
`(3)/(2) *(1)/(20)` that is all you can reduce so multiply across

=
`(3)/(40)` since we reduced earlier this is lowest term
