Question

Change 116% into a fraction and simplify

Answer 1

Remember that percent just means "out of 100", so 116% is 116 out of 100:

$\frac{116}{100}$

To simplify, you just divide each number by numbers that go into each:

$\frac{116}{100}\div\frac{4}{4}=\frac{29}{25}$

So, 116% in simplified fraction form is 29/25.

Answer 2

116% is the same as saying 116/100.
The highest common factor of 116 and 100 is 4.
116 divided by 4 is 29
100 divided by 4 is 25
So it is 29/25.
To put it into a mixed number, it could be 1 and 4/25.
