Question

Write 77.5% as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

Answer: Required fraction is

$\frac{31}{40}$

Explanation:

Since we have given that

77.5%

We need to change it into fraction.

To remove the sign of percent (i.e. %) we will divide it by 100 and it becomes

$\frac{77.5}{100}$

Now, to remove the decimal, we will divide it by 10 as decimal of tenths,

So, it becomes,

$\frac{775}{10\times 100}$

Now, we need to calculate it in simplest form so, it becomes ,

$\frac{31}{40}$

It can't be written as mixed number as it is proper fraction.

Hence, required fraction is

$\frac{31}{40}$
