Answer 1

Answer:
`(3)/(25)`

Explanation:

We know that to convert a percent into fraction we divide it by 100.

Here , we need to express 12% as fraction.

So we divide it by 100, we get

`12\%=(12)/(100)` (1)

Now , to simplify we divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF).

Since ,

`12=4*3\\\\ 100=4*25`

So , 4 is the GCF of 12 and 100.

Then divide the numerator and the denominator by 4 in (1) , we get

`(12/4)/(100/)=(3)/(25)`

Hence, 12% expressed as
`(3)/(25)` .
