Convert the given percentage into fraction in the lowest term:
$250\%$ (1 mark)

Answer 1

Given, $250\%$
[Remove the sign of percentage and at the same time divide by $100$. Then reduce the resulting fraction obtained to its lowest term.] (0.5 marks)
$250\%=\frac{250}{100}$

$\therefore 250\%=\frac{5}{2}$ (0.5 marks)

Hence, $250\%$ is $\frac{5}{2}$.
