To write 8% as a fraction or a mixed number, we need to divide 8 by 100.

8 ÷ 100 = 0.08

Since we have the decimal value 0.08, we can write it as a fraction by placing the decimal number over 1.

0.08/1 = 8/100

To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by 4.

8 ÷ 4 / 100 ÷ 4 = 2/25

So, 8% can be written as the fraction 2/25.

To write a percentage as a fraction, you can follow these steps:

1. Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100. In this case, 8% becomes 0.08.
2. To express the decimal as a fraction, consider that the place value of the last digit represents the power of 10 in the denominator. Since the decimal is in the hundredths place (0.08), the denominator will be 100.
3. Simplify the fraction if necessary. In this case, 8/100 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4. This gives us a simplified fraction of 2/25.

Therefore, 8% can be written as the fraction 2/25.
