The answer for 1.3% as a fraction will be 13/1000.
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: Firstly, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. Here, 1.3% becomes 0.013.
Step 2: Next, convert the decimal to a fraction. 0.013 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.013 becomes 0.013/1.
Step 3: To remove the decimal from the fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 (because there are 3 decimal places). 0.013/1 × 1000/1000 = 13/1000
Thus, 1.3% can be written as a fraction 13/1000.
