Answer:

26/5.

Explanation:

To convert 520% to a fraction, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Divide the percentage value by 100 to convert it to a decimal.

520% ÷ 100 = 5.20

Step 2: Simplify the decimal if possible.

Since 5.20 cannot be simplified further, we can proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Express the decimal as a fraction.

The decimal 5.20 can be written as 5.20/1.

Step 4: Remove the decimal by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 10 raised to the number of decimal places.

Since there are two decimal places, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10^2 (which is 100).

(5.20 × 100)/(1 × 100) = 520/100

Step 5: Simplify the fraction if possible.

The fraction 520/100 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 20.

(520 ÷ 20)/(100 ÷ 20) = 26/5
