Question

Express each of the following percentages as a fraction (a) 5⅛% (b) 91.4%​

Answer 1

Explanation:

(a)
`5(1)/(8) =(41)/(8)`

So we get

`5(1)/(8)\% =(41)/(8)/100`

`= (41)/(8) * (1)/(100)`

`=(41)/(800)`

(b)
`91.4=91(4)/(10) =91(2)/(5) =(457)/(5)`

So we get

`91.4\%=(457)/(5) /100`

`=(457)/(5) * (1)/(100)`

`=(457)/(500)`
