In everyday life, percentages are seen frequently. To express rates and ratios, they are utilized. So, understanding how to convert percentages into fractions is a basic math skill used in all fields, from finance to day-to-day accounting. Percentages are expressed as numbers in percentages, followed by a symbol (%) to represent a percentage. Converting percentages to fractions allows for ease of comparison and adjustment of values.
Follow these simple steps to convert percentages to characters.
Understand percentages: Start with a given percent. For example, if you have 25%, understand that this means 25 out of 100.
Write as a Fraction: For conversions, keep the percentage above 100 and keep it simple if possible. For 25%, this would be 25/100.
Simplify the fraction: Reduce the fraction to its simplest fraction, divide their greatest common denominator by the denominator (the upper number) and the denominator (the lower number), and let it weaken to 25/100/4 in our example.
Thus, 25% as a fraction is equal to 1/4. This method works universally, whether the percentage is a whole number, a decimal, or a mixture of numbers. For example, a 75% conversion follows the same steps: 75/100 smooths to 3/4.
