Question

Write the percent as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form 140%

Answer 1

Hey there!

Here is your question that you need help with:

140% as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form

Percents are out of 100. In this question, the percent is 140. To write that as a fraction, you would make 140 the numerator and 100 as the denominator.

$140 \% = \frac{140}{100}$

Your fraction is an improper fraction, which is a fraction that has a higher numerator than denominator. To make it proper, you have to change it into a mixed number.

First you have to remove 100 and make it 1 since 1/100 times 100 is equal to 1.

$\frac{140}{100} = 1 \frac{40}{100}$

You need to simplify the fraction. Since both numbers are divisible by 10, divide both of them by 10.

$1 \frac{40 \div 10}{100 \div 10} = 1 \frac{4}{10}$

Both numbers are divisible by 2 since they're even. Divide by 2:

$1 \frac{4 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = 1 \frac{2}{5}$

Your answer is $1 \frac{2}{5}$

Hope this helps! :)
