Question

the value of a certain stock increased by 1 and (1/4)%. Explain how to write 1 1/4 percent as a fraction in simplest form

Answer 1

1.25% expressed in fractions is (1/80).

Step-by-step explanation

We need to express

`1(1)/(4)\text{ percent in fractions}`

1 (1/4)% = 1.25%

1.25% = (1.25/100)

`\begin{gathered} (1.25)/(100) \\ \text{Multiply numerator and denominator by 100} \\ (1.25)/(100)=(125)/(10000) \\ \text{Divide numerator and denominator by 125} \\ (125)/(10000)=(1)/(80) \end{gathered}`

Hence, 1.25% expressed in fractions is (1/80).

Hope this Helps!!!
