Question

Covert each percent to its equivalent fraction or mixed number and simplify to its lowest term. 3.25%

Answer 1

To convert 3.25% to a fraction, we divide it by 100.

3.25% = 3.25/100

To simplify this fraction to its lowest term, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 0.25.

(3.25/0.25) / (100/0.25) = 13/4 / 400/1

Now, we can simplify the division by multiplying the fraction by the reciprocal of the divisor.

(13/4) x (1/400) = 13/1600

Therefore, 3.25% is equivalent to 13/1600 in its lowest term.
