Question

convert to lowest terms 40.8%

Answer 1

Say that symbol out loud, "%" "per cent". Cent is a word for 100. So when you see 40.8% you could write 40.8/100 see where I'm going with this?

Answer 2

i think i do i was never good with percent in math

Answer 3

It just means divided by 100. So next use a nice rule about fractions, they are proportional, imagine sliding the decimal in 40.8 over to 408, and sliding the 100.0 to 1000.0, now you have 408/1000 and no more weird symbols or dots

Answer 4

Do you know how to reduce this fraction now that it is written 408/1000? like going down to 204/500 would be the first step

Answer 5

yes

Answer 7

102/250 to 51/125 to 25.5/75

Answer 8

Nice, I would say 51/125 is lowest because that is the last you can go without getting decimals.
