How do you write 56 1/4% as a fraction in simplest form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you want 1/4 of 56 or 56 AND 1/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

56 and 1/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, then start by multiplying by the denominator, so 56 times 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

224

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay now add 1 to 224

OpenStudy (anonymous):

225

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then you have 225/4 creating a improper fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, you want to simplify if possible, so can 225 be divided by 4 or 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

112 and 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, it's not equally, so that means the fraction is already simplified, so your answer is 225/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):
