Question

Convert the following percent into common fractions in simplest form:
5 1/3%

Answer 1

4/75

Explanation:

you will get 5 and 1/3 percent equals (5 + 1/3) / 100 which is equal to 5/100 + (1/3) / 100 which is equal to 5/100 + 1/300. place both fractions under a common denominator. you will get 5/100 + 1/300 = 15/300 + 1/300 = 16/300. simplify the fraction to get 16/300 = 8/150 = 4/75
