its 0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

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
