Answer:

151/1000

Explanation:

To convert 15.1 percent to a fraction follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this:

15.1% = 15.1/100

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 1 digit after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 10, or, simply shift 1 decimal place to the right. So,

15.1/100 = (15.1 x 10)/(100 x 10) = 151/1000.

(This fraction is alread reduced, We can't reduce it any further).
