Question

Express $6\frac{1}{4}\%$ as fraction in the lowest term.

Answer 1

Percent means out of one hundred

$6\frac{1}{4}\%$ can be written as $\frac{25}{4}\%$

$\frac{25}{4}\%=\frac{{\displaystyle \raisebox{1ex}{$25$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$4$}\right.}}{100}$

$=\frac{25}{4}\times \frac{1}{100}$
