Hey there!
Here is your question that you need help with:
140% as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form
Percents are out of 100. In this question, the percent is 140. To write that as a fraction, you would make 140 the numerator and 100 as the denominator.
[tex]140 \% = \frac{140}{100}[/tex]
Your fraction is an improper fraction, which is a fraction that has a higher numerator than denominator. To make it proper, you have to change it into a mixed number.
First you have to remove 100 and make it 1 since 1/100 times 100 is equal to 1.
[tex]\frac{140}{100} = 1 \frac{40}{100}[/tex]
You need to simplify the fraction. Since both numbers are divisible by 10, divide both of them by 10.
[tex]1 \frac{40 \div 10}{100 \div 10} = 1 \frac{4}{10}[/tex]
Both numbers are divisible by 2 since they're even. Divide by 2:
[tex]1 \frac{4 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = 1 \frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Your answer is [tex]1 \frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Hope this helps! :)
