Question

Express each of the following per cents as fractions in the simplest forms:

(i) 45%

(ii) 0.25%

(iii) 150%

(iv) 6 (1/4) %

Answer 1

(i) Given 45%

= (45/100)

On simplifying the above fraction we get

= (9/20)

(ii) Given 0.25%

= (0.25/100)

= (25/10000)

On simplifying the above fraction we get

= (1/400)

(iii) Given 150%

= (150/100)

On simplifying the above fraction we get

= (3/2)

(iv) Given 6 (1/4) %

We can write 6 (1/4) as 6.25

= (6.25/100)

= (625/1000)

= (1/16)
