Fraction represents a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2, the numbers in decimal are expressed with a decimal point (.), For example, 0.08%, we are going to learn how to convert a percentage to a fraction.
The answer for 0.08% as a fraction will be 1/1250.
Converting a percentage to a fraction is a task for students that can be done easily. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.
Step 1: First, convert the percentage to a decimal. Here, 0.08% is the percentage, which can be expressed as 0.08/100 because percent means per hundred. 0.08% = 0.08/100 = 0.0008
Step 2: Convert the decimal to a fraction. Here, 0.0008 is the decimal number, which can be expressed as a fraction by placing it over 1. Then, 0.0008 becomes 0.0008/1.
Step 3: To remove the decimal from the fraction, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10000 (because there are four decimal places). 0.0008/1 × 10000/10000 = 8/10000
Step 4: Simplify the fraction by finding the GCD of 8 and 10000, which is 8. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 8. 8/10000 = 1/1250
Thus, 0.08% can be written as a fraction 1/1250.
