how to convert 11.7% to a fraction then reduce to lowest term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well that's simple. You must first convert the percent into a decimal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To do so, you must move it over 2 spaces.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To the left. I believe.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So .117 And then .117 is in the thousandths place. so 117/1000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now just simplify. :3♥

So Californias unemployment rate is 9.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be .095?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Didn't you need to make 11.7 to the fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IF 9.5 is a percent, then yes, it'd be .095. Depending on the percent or actual decimal.
