Question

Express the followings percents as a fraction in its lowest terms:
$40\%,10.4\%,8\frac{4}{5}\%$

Answer 1

$40\%=40\times \frac{1}{100}=\frac{40}{100}=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}$

Hence, $40\%=\frac{2}{5}$

$10.4\%=10.4\times \frac{1}{100}=\frac{10.4}{100}=\frac{104}{1000}=\frac{13}{125}$

$8\frac{4}{5}\%=\frac{44}{5}\%=\frac{44}{5}\times \frac{1}{100}=\frac{22}{125}$
