15+1/3% to its lowest term
To convert the fraction to its lowest term, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator.
Step 1: Convert 1/3% to a fraction.
1/3% = 1/3 ÷ 100 = 1/300
Step 2: Add 15 to the fraction.
The sum of 15 and 1/300 can be expressed as:
15 + 1/300 = (15 * 300/300) + 1/300 = 4500/300 + 1/300 = 4501/300
Since the numerator and denominator have no common factors, the fraction 4501/300 is already in its lowest term.
To simplify the expression 15 + 1/3%, we first need to convert the percentage to a decimal.
To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide it by 100. In this case, 1/3% is equal to 1/3 divided by 100:
1/3% = (1/3) ÷ 100
Now let's simplify this expression further:
1/3 ÷ 100 = 1 ÷ (3 × 100) = 1 ÷ 300
The expression now becomes 15 + 1 ÷ 300.
To add these fractions together, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 300.
15 × 300/300 + 1 ÷ 300 = 4500/300 + 1 ÷ 300
Adding these fractions together, the expression simplifies to:
4500/300 + 1 ÷ 300 = (4500 + 1) ÷ 300
4500 + 1 = 4501, so the expression becomes:
4501 ÷ 300.
To simplify this fraction further, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator.
In this case, the GCD of 4501 and 300 is 1. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 1 gives us:
4501 ÷ 1 ÷ 300 ÷ 1 = 4501 ÷ 300.
The simplified fraction is 4501 ÷ 300, which cannot be simplified any further to its lowest terms since 4501 is a prime number.
Therefore, 15 + 1/3% in its lowest terms is 4501/300.
To find the lowest term of the expression 15 + 1/3%, we need to convert the percentage to a decimal:
1/3% = 1/3 * 1/100 = 1/300
Now let's add 15 and 1/300:
15 + 1/300 = 4500/300 + 1/300 = (4500 + 1)/300 = 4501/300
To express this fraction in its lowest terms, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, and then divide both by the GCD.
The GCD of 4501 and 300 is 1. By dividing both the numerator and denominator by 1, we get:
4501/300 = 4501/300
Therefore, the expression 15 + 1/3% in its lowest term is 4501/300.
