Answer:
2/5, or 0.35
Step-by-step explanation:
The simple form of 35% is probably meaning the simplest fraction.
Since 35% is out of 100%, we put 35 out of 100, which gives us:
35/100
It can be simplified. 35 is dividable by 5. 100 is dividable by 5.
NUMBER ONE WAY:
So we divide:
35/5=8 and 100/5=20
And we get 8/20.
We are not there yet. 8 is divisible by 4. 20 is also divisible by 4.
8/4=2 and 20/4=5
We finally have 2/5, which cannot be divided by an number to BOTH numbers to get an integer, or whole number. If you use a calculator and enter 2 divided by 5, you'll get 0.35
Why it works:
We divide it FIRST by 5.
It looks like this:
(35/100) / (5/5)
It works because we are dividing the number by 1.
2/1=2 and is the same AND 5/5=1, so
35/100 / 5/5 still equals 35/100
because:
35/100=0.35 and 8/20=0.35
THIS IS ALSO SAME AS 2/2
