Question

Express the following as a fraction in its lowest terms.

$40\%$

Answer 1

To convert percentage as a fraction we are going to divide the fraction thing by $100$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 40\%=\left(40\times \frac{1}{100}\right) \\ =\frac{40}{100}=\frac{4}{10} \\ =\frac{2}{5} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, fraction in its lowest term is $\frac{2}{5}$.
