Question

What is 575% written as a mixed number?

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

5 3/4

Explanation:

First we rewrite this percent as a decimal. Percent means out of 100, so 575%= 575/100 = 5.75.

We read this decimal as "five and 75 hundredths", which gives us the fraction 5 75/100.

To simplify this fraction, we divide the numerator and denominator by the same factor. 25 will divide into both 75 and 100, so we have:

5 (75÷25)/(100÷25) = 5 3/4.

Answer 2

Answer:

575% as a mixed number is $5\frac{3}{4}$

Explanation:

575% is equivalent to $\frac{575}{100}$ which is equal to 5.75

5.75 = 5 + 0.75

0.75 can be written as $\frac{75}{100}$. This value can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 25. This would give us $\frac{3}{4}$

Back to our number:

$5.75 = 5 + 0.75 = 5 + \frac{75}{100} = 5 + \frac{3}{4} = 5\frac{3}{4}$

Hope this helps :)
