15 1/3% to its lowest term
To determine the lowest term of 15 1/3%, we need to convert the mixed number to a fraction.
First, let's convert the whole number 15 to a fraction by putting it over 1: 15/1
Next, to convert the mixed number 1/3 to a fraction with the same denominator as 15/1, we multiply the denominator 3 by the whole number 15: 3 * 15 = 45
Now, we add the numerator of the mixed number (1) to the result from the previous step: 45 + 1 = 46
The lowest term of 15 1/3% is 46/3%.
To find the lowest term of a percentage, you need to convert it into a fraction and then simplify it to its simplest form.
Step 1: Convert the percentage into a fraction by dividing it by 100.
15 1/3% = (15 + 1/3)/100 = 16/3/100 = 16/300
Step 2: Simplify the fraction to its lowest terms.
To simplify the fraction 16/300, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 4.
Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD (4):
16/300 ÷ 4 = 4/75
Therefore, 15 1/3% in lowest terms is 4/75.
To convert 15 1/3% to its lowest term, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
15 1/3 = 15 + 1/3 = (15 * 3 + 1)/3 = 46/3
Step 2: Convert the fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
46/3 ≈ 15.33333
Step 3: Convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100:
15.33333 * 100 = 1533.3333%
Step 4: Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator (46 and 3):
GCD(46, 3) = 1
Step 5: Divide both the numerator and denominator by their GCD:
46/3 ÷ 1/1 = (46 ÷ 1) / (3 ÷ 1) = 46/3
Therefore, 15 1/3% in its lowest terms is 46/3%.
