Question

Help me, I tried doing it but the answers were wrong, help. I have to make this percentage into a fraction, give an explanation too.

Answer 1

Explanation:

we know that 100% is equal to 1 so,

100%---1

2.5---x

100x=2.5

x=0.025

Answer 2

2.5% is 25/1000 as a fraction.

First, turn it in a decimal by moving the decimal point 3 places to the left.

2.5% as a decimal is 0.025 then just read it out loud which would be “25 thousandths” so it’s 25 over one thousand or 25/1000.
You can simplify it by dividing both the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) by 25 to make it 1/40.
