Question

How do you write \[36%\] as a fraction?

Answer 1

Hint:Since the given form is a percentage, and to convert the percentage value to fraction just divide the percentage value with \[100\] as the percentage is obtained by multiplying \[100\].

Complete step by step solution:
As clearly the given value is written in percentage form and we have to convert this into a fraction
\[\Rightarrow fraction\text{ = }\dfrac{Percentage}{100}\]
So, for this divide this by \[100\]
\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{36}{100}\]
Now simplifying,
Divide the numerator and denominator both by \[4\]
\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{9}{25}\]
Furthermore, the numerator and denominator don’t have any common factor to simplify

Hence the fractional value of \[36%\] is \[\dfrac{9}{25}\].

Note: In this question when we divide numerator by \[100\] instead of simplifying by dividing both numerator and denominator with their common factors, put the decimal after two digits from the end as we have divided with \[100\] as it has two zeroes. Similarly if having three zeros with one that is thousand then put decimal after three places from the end.
