Covert 62.5% to a fraction, reduced to lowest terms
To convert a percentage to a fraction, we can divide the percentage by 100 and simplify if possible.
So, by dividing 62.5 by 100, we get:
62.5/100 = 625/1000
Now, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 125:
625/1000 = (625 ÷ 125)/(1000 ÷ 125) = 5/8
Therefore, 62.5% can be reduced to the lowest terms as the fraction 5/8.
To convert 62.5% to a fraction, we divide the percentage by 100.
62.5% ÷ 100 = 0.625
Now, we need to convert the decimal 0.625 to a fraction.
Since there is a single digit after the decimal point, we can express 0.625 as a fraction by placing the decimal value over a denominator of 1, followed by zeros equal to the number of decimal places.
0.625 = 625/1000
Now, we can reduce this fraction to its lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 125.
625 ÷ 125 = 5
1000 ÷ 125 = 8
Therefore, 62.5% is equivalent to the fraction 5/8 in its lowest terms.
