Answer:

Mixed numbers

a) 24 1/2

b) 85/100 = 17/20

Explanation:

a) as they asked mixed number we only have to create a fraction for the decimal 0.5 = 1/2 and rewrite 24 1/2 = 24.5

If the question asked for lowest terms 24/5 then 24.5% = 245/1000 = 49/200

b) rewrite 0.85 as a fraction in lowest terms

0.85 = 85% = 85/100 = 17/20
