Question

You answered 85 % of the questions on the quiz correctly. What fraction of the questions did you answer correctly

Answer 1

You can first convert the percentage into a decimal. To do this, move the decimal point in 85 spaces to the right. So you know that 85% is equivalent to 0.85.

You can now convert that to a fraction, 85/100. Finally, you can simplify. 100 and 85 are both divisible by 5.

Your final answer is 17/20.
