Answer 1

To convert 35% to a fraction, you can express it as follows:

1. Write 35% as a fraction: \( \frac{35}{100} \).

2. Next, simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 35 and 100. The GCD of 35 and 100 is 5.

3. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:

   \[ \frac{35 \div 5}{100 \div 5} = \frac{7}{20} \]

Therefore, 35% as a fraction in reduced form is \( \frac{7}{20} \).

So the correct response is:

\( \frac{7}{20} \)
