Question

To meet increased demand, world food production must rise 50% by 2030. Write this percentage as a fraction in simplest form.​

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

(keep in mind that a fraction is simply division)

if you take 50% and convert it to a fraction it will become 1/2

1/2 is already in its simplest form. let's say you divide it by 2 then you will get 0.5/1 which is not a viable fraction. 0.5÷1 is a more complex version of multiplication meaning it isn't a fraction.
