convert into a fraction, mixed number, or whole number
62 1/2%
I think it's 5/8 as a fraction
Ooops! You're right, Andre. I carelessly missed the percent sign.
Thanks.
To convert a percentage into a fraction, mixed number, or whole number, you need to understand that a percentage is a way of expressing a part of a whole.
To convert a percentage to a fraction, you divide the percentage by 100 and simplify the resulting fraction. In this case, you have 62 1/2%. To convert it to a fraction, you divide 62 1/2 by 100:
62 1/2 ÷ 100 = 62.5 ÷ 100
Next, simplify the resulting fraction. Since 62.5 is already in decimal form, you can express it as 625/1000. Simplifying this fraction yields:
625 ÷ 125 = 5/8
Therefore, 62 1/2% is equal to the fraction 5/8.
To convert a fraction to a mixed number, you divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, the fraction 5/8 cannot be expressed as a whole number and proper fraction combination. Thus, it remains as 5/8.
To convert a fraction to a whole number, you check if the numerator is divisible by the denominator. If it is, the fraction is equal to a whole number. In this case, 5 is not divisible by 8, so the fraction 5/8 cannot be converted into a whole number.
