39% as a Fraction

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Numbers can be categorized into different types. A fraction is one such type. 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 represent a part out of 100. For example, 1/2, the numbers in percentage are expressed with a percent sign (%), for example, 39%. We are going to learn how to convert a percentage to a fraction.
