Question

Shelley found that 36% of the students she surveyed said chocolate was their favorite ice cream flavor. What fraction is equivalent to 36%

Answer 1

36/100 both go into 4 so then the fraction is 9/25. and the answer is 9/25 because no other numbers are multiples of both the numbers 

Answer 2

9/25 because 36/100 (because a percent is out of 100) simplifies to 9/25.
