Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fraction is one of its kind. 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. Percents represent the fractional part of numbers as well. For example, 1/2; the numbers as a percent are expressed with a percent sign (%), for example, 22.5%. We are going to learn how to convert a percent to a fraction.

What is 22.5% as a Fraction?

22.5% as a fraction

 

Answer

The answer for 22.5% as a fraction will be 9/40.

 

Explanation

Converting a percent 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 fraction by dividing by 100. Here, 22.5% becomes 22.5/100.

 

Step 2: To remove the decimal from the fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 22.5/100 × 10/10 = 225/1000

 

Step 3: Here, 25 is the GCD of 225 and 1000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 25. 225/1000 = 9/40 Hence, 22.5% is in the form of a fraction of 9/40.

 

Thus, 22.5% can be written as a fraction 9/40.
