Answer 2

To write a percent as a fraction in lowest terms, we need to remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

40% can be written as the ratio $\frac{40}{100}$. $\frac{40}{100}$ is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by 20 which gives us $\frac{2}{5}$.

Therefore, 40% can be written as the fraction $\frac{2}{5}$.
