0.75% as a Fraction

Answer

The answer for 0.75% as a fraction will be 3/400.

Explanation

Converting a percentage to a fraction involves a few steps. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

Step 1: Firstly, any percentage should be converted to a decimal for easy calculation. Here, 0.75% as a decimal is 0.0075.

Step 2: Then, convert the decimal to a fraction. 0.0075 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.0075 becomes 0.0075/1.

Step 3: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10000 (because there are 4 decimal places). 0.0075/1 × 10000/10000 = 75/10000

Step 4: Here 25 is the GCD of 75 and 10000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 25. 75/10000 = 3/400 Hence, 0.75% is in the form of a fraction 3/400.

Thus, 0.75% can be written as a fraction 3/400.
