Question

Find fractional notation of 87.5%

Answer 1

To find the fractional notation, we have to transform 87.5% into a fraction. To do that, we just have to divide the percentage by 100.

`(87.5)/(100)`

Then, we multiply each part by 10.

`(87.5*10)/(100*10)=(875)/(1000)`

At last, we simplify the fraction by 125 to get 7/8.

`\begin{gathered} (875)/(125)=7 \\ (1000)/(125)=8 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the given percent, in fractional notation, is 7/8.
