We are asked to write 2 25 % as a fraction in simplest form. To write the percent as a fraction, we can write the number part as a numerator over 100.
2 25 %=2 25/100
Notice that we got a fraction with a numerator that is a mixed number. This means that it is a complex fraction. Recall that complex fractions can be simplified to the form when both the numerator and denominator are integers. Let's start simplifying by writing the complex fraction as a division problem.
2 25/100 = 2 25 ÷ 100Next, we will write the mixed number as an improper fraction.
We found that 2 25 is equal to 125.
2 25 ÷ 100 = 125 ÷ 100
Now we will write the division by 100 as multiplication by the reciprocal of 100, which is 1100.
125 ÷ 100 = 125 * 1100
Let's perform the multiplication to get 2 25 % as a fraction. Then we will reduce the fraction to simplest form.
