For the following questions, convert each percent to its equivalent fraction (or mixed number) in its lowest terms and decimal. a. 195%
To convert a percent to a fraction, divide the percent by 100 and simplify the resulting fraction if needed.
a. 195% = 195/100
To simplify the fraction, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 5 in this case. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD.
195/100 = (195 ÷ 5) / (100 ÷ 5) = 39/20
The simplified fraction is 39/20.
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.
39 ÷ 20 = 1.95
Therefore, 195% is equivalent to the fraction 39/20 and the decimal 1.95.
