Answer:

8/25

Step-by-step explanation:

__________________________________________________________

Hi! I am happy to help you with this problem!!

To start we must think about what 32% is. To understand this I will make a simple problem for us to solve.

There are 100 dogs at the dog shelter. 32% of the dogs are puppies. How many dogs are puppies.

Well, this is simple! Is there are 100 dogs and 32% of them are puppies this means that 32 of them are puppies!

Lets use this what we know from the previous problem to answer your question.

You are trying to find 32% as a fraction. Because 100/100 (100%) Is equal to 1 whole, 32% must be 32/100!!

However this is not the answer. To find the final answer we have to simplify this fraction.

(32/100) / 4 = 8/25!!

This is your final answer!! I hope you found this answer helpful <3

Have a great day!
