Answer

Explanation

Converting a percentage to a fraction is a straightforward task. You can follow the steps below to find the answer.

 

Step 1: Start by writing the percentage as a fraction with the denominator of 100. Here, 18.75% becomes 18.75/100.

 

Step 2: To remove the decimal from the fraction, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100 (because there are two decimal places in 18.75). 18.75/100 × 100/100 = 1875/10000

 

Step 3: The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 1875 and 10000 is 625. Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 625. 1875/10000 = 3/16

 

Thus, 18.75% can be written as a fraction 3/16.
