Answer:

27/20 or
1(7)/(20)

Explanation:

A fraction is a quantity that is not a whole number. In maths, a fraction usually has a numerator and a denominator.

The numerator is the number above. While the denominator is the number below

an example of a fraction =

4 is the numerator while 5 is the denominator

If graduation rates rose by 35 percent, the increase would be 100% + 35%

Since the increase is in percentage form, to convert to fraction, divide the total increase by 100.


(135)/(100)

to express in its simplest form, divide both numerator and the denominator by 5


(27)/(20)

the above fraction can also be expressed as a mixed fraction = 1
(7)/(20)
