Question

You got 85% of the questions on the test correct. What fraction of the questions did you get correct? Write in lowest terms.

Answer 1

you got 85% of the questions on the test correct, this means if the total amount of questions was 100, you got 85 of them correct

So the fraction is 85/100

and to write it in lowest terms we can divide each term by 5:

`((85)/(5))/((100)/(5))=(17)/(20)`

So the answer is: 17/20
