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. Percentages are another way to express fractions, often used to denote proportions. For example, 50% represents 1/2. We are going to learn how to convert a percentage to a fraction.

What is 23.5% as a Fraction?

23.5% as a fraction

 

 

Answer

The answer for 23.5% as a fraction will be 47/200.

 

Explanation

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

 

Step 1: Begin by writing the percentage as a fraction with the denominator of 100, since percentages are out of 100. Here, 23.5% becomes 23.5/100.

 

Step 2: To eliminate the decimal from the fraction, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10 (since there is one decimal place). 23.5/100 × 10/10 = 235/1000

 

Step 3: Find the GCD of 235 and 1000, which is 5. Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD. 235/1000 = 47/200

 

Thus, 23.5% can be written as a fraction 47/200.
