Answer 1

To convert \( 10(1/2)\% \) into a fraction in simplest form, first express it as follows:

1. Convert \( 10(1/2) \) into a decimal or fraction:
\[
10(1/2) = 10 + \frac{1}{2} = 10.5
\]

2. Change the percentage to a decimal:
\[
10.5\% = \frac{10.5}{100}
\]

3. Convert \( 10.5 \) to a fraction:
\[
10.5 = \frac{105}{10} = \frac{21}{2}
\]

4. Substitute this back into the percentage:
\[
\frac{21}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{100} = \frac{21}{200}
\]

After simplifying, we get:

\[
\frac{21}{200}
\]

So, the answer is:

**21/200**
