Example Question #59 : How To Find A Fraction From A Percentage

The fraction should be in the lowest reduced term.

76%

Possible Answers:

$\frac{20}{23}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{19}{25}$

$\frac{76}{100}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{19}{25}$

Explanation:

When converting percentages into fractions, you should always start with the percent in a fraction form.

The percent will go in the numerator, and the denominator of a percent always begins as 100.

In this case, your first fraction would be $\frac{76}{100}$ .

You then need to reduce each number.

Both of these numbers are divisible by 4, which would leave you with $\frac{19}{25}$ .

Example Question #117 : Fractions And Percentage

What fraction is equivalent to $40\%$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{4}{100}$

$\frac{0.40}{100}$

$\frac{4}{25}$

$\frac{2}{5}$

$\frac{4}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{5}$

Explanation:

To find a fraction from a percentage, do the following:

$40\%$

means 40 per 100, so it is the same as

$= \frac{40}{100}$

When we simplify, we get

$= \frac{4}{10}$

$= \frac{2}{5}$

So, if we write $40\%$ as a fraction, we get $\frac{2}{5}$ .

$= \frac{25}{100}$

When we simplify, we get

$= \frac{1}{4}$

So, if we write $25\%$ as a fraction, we get $\frac{1}{4}$ .
