Given:
2%
68%
Convert to fraction.
Solution:
In order to convert the percentage into fraction we first need to change the percentage into decimal. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 2/100
= 0.02
Treat 0.02 as a whole number then divide it by 100, since it is in the hundredths place.
= 2/100
= 1/50
= 68/100
= 0.68
=68/100
= 17/25
Final answer:
2% = 1/50
68% = 17/25
