Converting Percents to Fractions

Simplifying fractions makes them easier to understand and work with, and it ensures that the fraction is in its most basic form.

First, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. Then, convert the decimal to a fraction by placing it over one and multiplying the top and bottom by a power of 10 that will eliminate the decimal. Finally, simplify the fraction if possible.

The decimal value of 30% is 0.3.

The fraction equivalent to 30% is 3/10.

Convert 15% to a decimal by dividing by 100%, which results in 0.15.

The fraction equivalent to 15% is 3/20 after simplification.

Convert 12.8% to a decimal by dividing by 100%, which results in 0.128.

The fraction equivalent to 12.8% is 16/125 after simplification.

We multiply by the same number to keep the fraction equivalent to the original decimal value.

To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor.

The greatest common divisor of 15 and 20 is 5.

The greatest common divisor of 128 and 1000 is 4.
