Question

how would i simplify 55% in two a fraction

Answer 1

in its simplest form

Answer 2

So first off, what is it in its non-simplified form?

Answer 3

55 over a 100

Answer 4

Exactly. Do you see something that you can divide evenly into both 55 and 100?

Answer 5

5

Answer 6

Right. What is 55 / 5, and what is 100 / 5?

Answer 7

11 and 20

Answer 8

11 over 20

Answer 9

what would be the simplest form of 11 over 20

Answer 10

That is the simplest form, unless you can find something that divides evenly into both 11 and 20.

Answer 11

(You won't, because 11 is prime, which means that nothing divides evenly into it except for 1 and 11, and 11 does not divide evenly into 20)

Answer 12

okay

Answer 13

what about 75% as a fraction in simplest form

Answer 14

75 over 100

Answer 15

Right. So what divides evenly into those two?

Answer 16

5

Answer 17

Ok, so divide those two by 5 and see what you get.

Answer 18

15 over 20

Answer 19

Right. Is there something that divides evenly into those two?

Answer 20

5

Answer 21

so it would be 3 over 4

Answer 22

Exactly :)

Answer 23

okay um what about i 140%

Answer 24

sorry did not mean to put i in there

Answer 25

so it would be 1 and 40 over 100 right

Answer 26

and 10 can go into 40 and 100 so i would divide it by that right

Answer 27

so it would be 4 over 10 then i would add the 1 then i would be 1 and 4 over 10

Answer 28

Right. That's in mixed number form. If you want an improper fraction, then 1 is the same as 10/10, so it would be 14/10.

Answer 29

okay

Answer 30

so 175% would be 1 and 75 over 100 and divide that bye 5 which would equal to 1 and 3 over 4 right

Answer 31

Right on :)

Answer 32

okay i think i got a hang of it thank you very much:)

Answer 33

well gtg bye

Answer 34

Answer 44

what would i divide by to get 92

Answer 45

Um. What do you mean? 92 / 100?

Answer 46

yes sorry

Answer 47

No problem :) 2 seems like a good fit. Remember all even numbers are divisible by 2.

Answer 48

okay

Answer 49

so it would be 42 right

Answer 50

92/2 is 46. So you have 46 / 50. Can you divide that again?

Answer 51

yes

Answer 52

by 2

Answer 53

Right. So divide it by 2 again.

Answer 54

so it would be 23 over 25

Answer 55

Answer 58

You can divide both by 2 again, right?

Answer 59

okay

Answer 60

shadow

Answer 61

well i have 9 over50 would that be right

Answer 62

divide it by 2 again

Answer 63

which would equal 4 over 25 right

Answer 64

Wait, 9 over 50?

Answer 66

9 is not evenly divisible by 2, only by 3.

Answer 67

Right :)

Answer 68

shadow u saw my new question

Answer 69

37 over 100 which would equal 37 over 50 right

Answer 70

Ok, yeah, in that case that's right.

Answer 78

okay good

Answer 79

what would i multiply by if it was 43 over 100

Answer 80

Nothing. That's already as simple as it can get.

Answer 81

so that is simplified as a percent into a fraction

Answer 82

Sure.

Answer 83

okay good

Answer 84

how would i write a fraction as a percent like 4 over 5 what would that be as a percent

Answer 85

So the trick here is that you want 5 to turn into 100. What do you have to multiply 5 by to get 100?

Answer 86

20

Answer 87

So the trick here is that you want 5 to turn into 100. What do you have to multiply 5 by to get 100?
