Question

Rename the following percent as fractions:

$37.5$%

• A. $\frac{3}{7}$
• B. $\frac{3}{8}$
• C. $\frac{3}{4}$
• D. $\frac{3}{5}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{3}{8}$

To find the percent of a given number, we will multiply it with $100$
Let the number in fraction be $x$
When converted to percent, the number becomes $x\times 100=37.5$ , which gives $x=\frac{37.5}{100}=\frac{375}{1000}=\frac{3}{8}$
