27.5% as a fraction

 

Answer

 

The answer for 27.5% as a fraction will be 11/40.

 

Explanation

 

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

 

Step 1: Firstly, convert the percentage to a fraction by dividing by 100. Here, 27.5% becomes 27.5/100.

 

Step 2: To eliminate the decimal from the fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 27.5/100 × 10/10 = 275/1000

 

Step 3: Here, 25 is the GCD of 275 and 1000. Now, to simplify the fraction, divide the numerator and denominator by 25. 275/1000 = 11/40

 

Thus, 27.5% can be written as a fraction 11/40.
