Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fraction is one of its kind. It is 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 express fractions, typically out of 100. For example, 16% can be converted into a fraction. We are going to learn how to convert a percentage to a fraction.
