i need to write 40% as a fraction in simplest form how do i do that
40/100=4/10=2/5
a percent is over 100-then reduce
if its a percent its always over 100 so 40/100 simp. again 4/10 simp. again 2/5

To write 40% as a fraction in simplest form, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100.
40% ÷ 100 = 0.40
Step 2: Simplify the decimal fraction if possible.
In this case, 0.40 is already in its simplest form.
Step 3: Write the decimal as a fraction.
Since there are two decimal places in 0.40, the denominator of the fraction will be 100. The numerator will be the number without decimals (40): 40/100.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD is 20.
40 ÷ 20 = 2
100 ÷ 20 = 5
So, the fraction form of 40% in simplest form is 2/5.
