Question

Express each percent as a fraction or mixed number in the simplest form. 2.5%

Answer 1

`(1)/(40)`

Explanation:

Percent means a number over 100.
`(2.5)/(100)`

Convert the decimal number to a fraction by shifting the decimal point in both the numerator and denominator. Since there is one number to the right of the decimal point, move the decimal point one place to the right.
`(25)/(1000)`

Cancel the common factor of 25 and 1000.
`(1)/(40)`

Answer 2

The answer is 2 1/2 or in mixed form 5/2
