Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Numbers can be categorized into different types. A fraction is one such type, always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. A fraction represents a whole and a fractional part. Percentages are another way to represent numbers, indicating parts per hundred. For example, 50% is equal to 1/2. In this guide, we will learn how to convert a percentage into a fraction.

Answer

The answer for 77.5% as a fraction is 31/40.

 

Explanation

Converting a percentage to a fraction is a straightforward task. Follow the steps below to find the answer.

 

Step 1: Start by writing the percentage as a fraction with 100 as the denominator. Here, 77.5% becomes 77.5/100.

 

Step 2: Since 77.5 is a decimal, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10 to eliminate the decimal point. 77.5/100 × 10/10 = 775/1000

 

Step 3: Now, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 775 and 1000, which is 25. Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD. 775/1000 = 31/40

 

Thus, 77.5% can be written as the fraction 31/40.
