Answer:

  • 267/200 = 1.335
  • 131/150 = 0.8733...
  • 1/10,000 = 0.0001
  • 1/12 = 0.0833...

Explanation:

It might be helpful to think of the % symbol as being interchangeable with /100.

133 1/2% = (133 1/2)/100 = 267/200 = 1.335

87 1/3% = (87 1/3)/100 = 262/300 = 131/150 = 0.8733333... (repeating 3)

0.01% = 0.01/100 = 1/10000 = 0.0001

8 1/3% = (8 1/3)/100 = 25/300 = 1/12 = 0.0833333... (repeating 3)
