Question

How do you write $44\% $ as a fraction or mixed number?

Answer 1

Hint: For solving such types of questions we have to convert percent into fraction or mixed numbers. For that we first divide the number by $100$. After that we will cancel out common factors.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We first convert percent into fraction
For that,
Write down the percent divided by $100$,
$ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{44}}{{100}}$
Now we find common factors,
Here, $44 = 2 \times 2 \times 11$ and $100 = 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times 5$
$ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{11}}{{25}}$
If denominator is greater than numerator then that fraction can not be converted into mixed number but if numerator is greater than denominator then that fraction can be converted into mixed number.
Here, the denominator is greater than the numerator.
So, as you can see the fraction $\dfrac{{11}}{{25}}$can not be converted into a mixed number.

Note: So, for solving this type of question we must follow the step. First convert percent into fraction. After that there are any common factors in numerator and denominator then cancel them out. And lastly see if the denominator is greater than numerator or numerator is greater than denominator. If denominator is greater than numerator then that fraction can not be converted into mixed number but if numerator is greater than denominator then that fraction can be converted into mixed number.
