Write each percent as a fraction. Give answers in lowest terms. 35%

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone in this problem, we are given the following number in percentage notation and were asked to rewrite it in its fraction equivalent and to reduce to the lowest terms possible. Now we're even 85%. We were given percentages. We want to recall that percentages are per 100. Okay, So if we have a percent and we want to write it as a fraction, we're just gonna take it and divide by 100. Okay, 85 divided by 185 per 100. Now we have our fraction we're gonna go ahead and reduce. Okay, now we look at these, we can see that 85 is going to divide by five. We know 100 is going to divide by five. So let's start there. And so we take the numerator, 85, divide by five. And the same in the denominator. 100 divided by five. Okay, and this is going to keep our fraction equivalent because we're dividing by the same thing in the numerator and denominator 85 divided by five is going to give us the numerator and 100 divided by five gives us 20 in the denominator. Okay, And now 17 is prime. So there's nothing else we can divide here. This is as simple as we can get it. And so our answer is going to be d Okay, 85% written in a fraction is 17/20.
