Given the value:
220%
Write the given as a fraction.
Solution:
In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 220/100
= 2.2
To convert to fraction, focus first on the decimal value. Treat the decimal as a whole number and then divide it by its place value, in our case, we divide 2 with 10.
= 2/10
= 1/5
Add the whole number to the front of the fraction.
= 2 1/5
Final answer:
= 2 1/5
