Every percentage as a fraction is expressed as the number divided by 100, so in this case 40% = 40/100
In order to simplify 40/100, we should divide the numerator and the denominator with the same number until we have a fraction that can we simplified anymore
the most obvious one is 10, so we remove a zero from the top and bottom and we are stuck with 4/10
we can divide by 2 and we will have 2/5
2/5 is a fraction that cant be simplified anymore
