62.5% as a Fraction

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fractions are one of these types and are always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. Fractions represent a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2. In contrast, percentages indicate parts per hundred. For instance, 62.5% can be converted into a fraction, which we will learn how to do.

What is 62.5% as a Fraction?

62.5% as a fraction

 

Answer

 

The answer for 62.5% as a fraction is 5/8.

 

Explanation

 

Converting a percentage to a fraction is straightforward and can be done easily by following the steps below.

 

Step 1: Convert the percentage into a decimal. Divide 62.5 by 100. 62.5% = 62.5/100 = 0.625

 

Step 2: Convert the decimal to a fraction. Here, 0.625 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.625 becomes 0.625/1.

 

Step 3: To remove the decimal from the fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 (because there are three decimal places). 0.625/1 × 1000/1000 = 625/1000

 

Step 4: Here, 125 is the GCD of 625 and 1000. To simplify the fraction, divide the numerator and denominator by 125. 625/1000 = 5/8

 

Thus, 62.5% can be written as a fraction 5/8.
