17% as a Fraction

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fraction is one of its kinds. It is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. Fraction represents a whole and a fractional part. Percents are another way to express fractions. For example, 1/2 can be expressed as 50%, and we are going to learn how to convert a percent to a fraction.
