Conversion of Percentage to Fraction
Conversion of percentage to fraction : Here we will learn how to convert percentage to fraction.
Consider the following diagram
Here half of the circle is shaded in red. In other words we say `1/2`
of the circle is shaded in red.
Now we shall write an equivalent fraction to `1/2` .
`50/100 = 50%` ( By multiplying both numerator and denominator by 50)
For conversion of percentage to fraction , just divide that number by 100 and then reduced it to the lowest form.
Examples :
1) 57%
Solution :
As there is a % sign with 57 so divide 57 by 100.
57 % = 57/100
2) 45%
Solution :
As there is a % sign with the number so divide that number by 100.
45% = 45/100
= (45 ÷ 5)/(100 ÷ 5)
= 9/20 ( which is lowest fraction)
3) 82%
Solution :
As there is a % sign with the number so divide that number by 100.
82% = 82/100
= (82 ÷ 2)/(100 ÷ 2)
= 41/50 ( which is lowest fraction)
3) 125%
Solution :
As there is a % sign with the number so divide that number by 100.
125% = 125/100
= (125 ÷ 5)/(100 ÷ 5)
= 25/20
= (25 ÷ 5)/(20 %divide; 5)
= 5/4( which is lowest fraction)
4) 36%
Solution :
As there is a % sign with the number so divide that number by 100.
36% = 36/100
= (36 ÷ 2)/(100 ÷ 2)
= 18/50
= (18 ÷ 2)/(50 ÷2)
= 9/25( which is lowest fraction)
5) 115 %
Solution :
As there is a % sign with the number so divide that number by 100.
115 % = 115/100
= (115 ÷ 5)/(100 ÷ 5)
= 23/20 ( which is lowest fraction)
