Question

Write 85% as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

17/20

Step-by-step explanation:

85% can easily be written as 85/100 and this is true, but we have to simplify to the simplest form.

An easy way to simplify is to divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

The GCF of 85 and 100 is 5.

85 ÷ 5 = 17

100 ÷ 5 = 20

We can no longer simplify 17/20 because 17 is prime so your final answer is 17/20!
