Question

Convert percent to fraction and simplify if possible 8% =

Answer 1

a To convert percent to fraction divide it by 100

Then divide 8% by 100 to change it to fraction

`(8)/(100)`

Now we want to simplify it

Since 8 and 100 can divide by 2, then divide up and down by 2

`((8)/(2))/((100)/(2))=(4)/(50)`

Since 4 and 50 can divide by 2, then divide up and down by 2

`((4)/(2))/((50)/(2))=(2)/(25)`

Since 2 and 25 can not divide by any same number

Then 8% = 2/25
