3.5% as a Fraction

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fractions are one of these types. A fraction is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. A fraction represents both a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers, and percentages are another way to express fractions. For example, 1/2 is a fraction, while 10% can be expressed as a fraction too. In this guide, we will learn how to convert a percentage to a fraction.

3.5% as a fractionAnswer

 

The answer for 3.5% as a fraction is 7/200.

 

Explanation

 

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

 

Step 1: A percentage can be easily converted to a fraction by dividing by 100. So, 3.5% becomes 3.5/100.

 

Step 2: To remove the decimal point in the numerator, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 3.5/100 × 10/10 = 35/1000

 

Step 3: The GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) of 35 and 1000 is 5. To simplify the fraction, divide both the numerator and the denominator by 5. 35/1000 = 7/200

 

Thus, 3.5% can be written as a fraction 7/200.
