Answer 1

To express 1212% as a fraction, first convert the percentage to a decimal:

1212% = 1212 / 100 = 12.12

Now, convert 12.12 to a fraction:
12.12 can be expressed as:

12.12 = 12 + 0.12 = 12 + (12/100)

To convert 0.12 to a fraction:
0.12 = 12/100 = 3/25 (after simplifying)

Therefore:
12.12 = 12 + 3/25
= 12(25/25) + 3/25
= 300/25 + 3/25
= 303/25

So, 1212% as a fraction is 303/25.

None of the provided responses (18, 1 over 8, 14, 1 fourth, 625, 6 over 25, 325) accurately represent the fraction 303/25.
