First of all, the question is in percentage so converting it to a fraction :

152/100

Reducing or further dividing by 4

152/100=38/25

It cannot be divided further so changing into a mixed fraction it will be one whole number thirteen over twenty five

1 13/25

Answer:


=1(13)/(25)

Explanation:

To find the answer convert the percent into a fraction. In order to do that we must divide the given percent by 100 and then reduce as needed.


152\\152/100=1.52\\(1.52)/(1) *(100)/(100) =(152)/(100\\)\\ (152)/(100) /2=(38)/(25) \\=(38)/(25)

Now convert the improper fraction into a mixed number:

(38)/(25) \\(38)/(25)=38/25=1(13)/(25) \\=1(13)/(25)

Therefore 152% written as a fraction in reduced terms is 1 13/25.

I hope this helps.
