Question

What is 62.5% in two equivalent forms ?

Answer 1

62.5%

Percents are parts of 100, so write 62.5 as a fraction over 100:

62.5/100

Divide the numerator and denominator by 12.5:

62.5 / 12.5 = 5
100 / 12.5 = 8

5/8

This is one form.

62.5 / 100 = 0.625

This is another form.

Answer 2

Answer: Two equivalent forms are :

`(5)/(8)\ and\ (125)/(200)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

62.5%

We have to write in equivalent forms:

1) First equivalent form is given by

`62.5\%\\\\=(62.5)/(100)\\\\=(625)/(1000)\\\\=(25)/(40)\\\\=(5)/(8)`

2) Second equivalent form is given by

`62.5\%\\\\=(62.5)/(100)\\\\=\frac{625}[1000}\\\\=(625/ 5)/(1000/ 5)\\\\=(125)/(200)`
