Question
When would it be easier to write a percent as a fraction rater than a decimal.
Answers
Ms. Sue
It might be easier if it was a fraction you know -- like 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4. Also -- it might be easier to write a fraction when the denominator is 10 or 100.

Also, if the fraction has a denominator that has any prime factors other than 2 and 5, it cannot be expressed exactly as a decimal.
