Answer: 1 13/25

Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this:

152% = 152/100

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As 152 is an integer, we don't have numbers after the decimal point. So, we just go to step 3.

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(152,100) = 4. So,

(152÷4)/(100÷4) = 38/25 when reduced to the simplest form.

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 152/100 is also equal to 1 13/25 when expressed as a mixed number.
