Convert 39 percent to a fraction

39% = ³⁹/₁₀₀ as a fraction

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 39 percent to a fraction, follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this:

39% = ³⁹/₁₀₀

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

39 is an integer, we don't have numbers after the decimal point. So,

39/100 = 39/100.

(This fraction is already reduced; We can't reduce it any further).

What is 125 percent as a fraction?

125% = ⁵/₄ = 1¹/₄ as a fraction

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 125 percent to a fraction, follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this:

125% = ¹²⁵/₁₀₀

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As 125 is an integer, we don't have numbers after the decimal point. So,

125/100 = 125/100.

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction:

¹²⁵/₁₀₀ = ⁵/₄ when reduced to the simplest form.

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER. Thus, 125/₁₀₀ is also equal to 1 ¹/₄ when expressed as a mixed number.

Equivalent fraction of 6.25 percent

6.25% = ¹/₁₆ as a fraction

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 6.25 percent to a fraction, follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this:

6.25% = ^6.25/₁₀₀

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 2 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100. So,

6.25/100 = ^{(6.25 x 100)}/_{(100 x 100)} = ⁶²⁵/₁₀₀₀₀.

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction:

⁶²⁵/₁₀₀₀₀ = ¹/₁₆ when reduced to the simplest form.
