Write the percent as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form.
0.8% =
To write 0.8% as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form, we first need to convert it to a fraction.
The percent symbol "%" means "per hundred," so 0.8% is equivalent to 0.8 per hundred, or 0.8/100.
To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 8.
0.8 ÷ 8 = 0.1
100 ÷ 8 = 12.5
Therefore, 0.8% is equal to 0.1/12.5.
Since the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1, this fraction is already in its simplest form.
To write 0.8% as a fraction or a mixed number in simplest form, follow these steps:
Step 1: Divide the given percentage by 100 to convert it into decimal form. In this case, divide 0.8 by 100:
0.8 ÷ 100 = 0.008
Step 2: To convert the decimal into a fraction, we need to identify the place value of the last digit. In this case, the last digit is in the thousandth place (0.008 = 8/1000).
Step 3: Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 8:
8 ÷ 8 = 1
1000 ÷ 8 = 125
The simplified fraction for 0.8% is 1/125.
