Answer

 

The answer for 140% as a fraction will be 7/5.

 

Explanation

 

Converting a percentage to a fraction is a task that can be done easily. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

 

Step 1: Firstly, any percentage should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 140% is the percentage. To convert it into a fraction, write 140 over 100 because percent means per hundred. Then, 140% becomes 140/100.

 

Step 2: Simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator. Here, the GCD of 140 and 100 is 20.

 

Step 3: To make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 20. 140/100 = 7/5 Hence, 140% is in the form of the fraction 7/5.

 

Thus, 140% can be written as a fraction 7/5.
