Answer:

 

The answer for 24% as a fraction is 6/25.

 

Explanation:

 

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

 

Step 1: Firstly, any percentage should be converted to a fraction by placing the percentage number over 100, because a percentage is a fraction of 100. Here, 24% becomes 24/100.

 

Step 2: To simplify the fraction, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 24 and 100. The GCD of 24 and 100 is 4.

 

Step 3: Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD to simplify the fraction. 24/100 = (24 ÷ 4)/(100 ÷ 4) = 6/25

 

Thus, 24% can be written as the fraction 6/25.
