Example Question #71 : Fractions And Percentage

Convert $\small 47\%$ into a fraction.

Possible Answers:

$\frac{47}{100}$

$\small \frac{470}{1}$

$\frac{4.7}{100}$

This percentage cannot be converted to a fraction.

$\frac{.47}{10}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{47}{100}$

When converting percentages into fractions, the easiest way to go about it is to simply place the percentage given over one hundred.

So for this example, the percentage is $\small 47\%$ , meaning the it can be rewritten as $\small \frac{47}{100}$ .

Since $\small 47$ is a prime number, this fraction is already in its simplest form.
