write 5 1/4% as a simple fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a mixed fraction if you cant tell 5 and 1/4%

OpenStudy (abbles):

First, that can be rewritten as 5.25%. Do you know how to convert it into a simple fraction from there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no thats why i asked can you show me?

OpenStudy (abbles):

Move the decimal over two places. So it would be .0525... see? Then convert that into a fraction. It would be 525/10000 and then reduce to 21/400

OpenStudy (abbles):

That's your answer: 21/400

OpenStudy (anonymous):
