Answer 2

Writing a percent value as a fraction is easy. Remember that 12% means 12 parts out of 100 parts. This is the same as saying "twelve one-hundredths", which would be written as the fraction . The fraction is not in simplest form-- it can be reduced to . Thus, the 5 pencils on desk #3 constitute 12% , or , of the total number of pencils in the office.

The general approach for converting a percentage to a fraction is to remove the percent symbol and multiply the percentage value by . The resulting fraction may not be in simplest form; if not, it can then be reduced to simplest form.

Answer 3

Well, 12% is the same as 12 over 100 -- or 12/100
reduce that down and you would get 12 divided by 4 is 3
100 divided by 4 is 25
so the final answer is 3 over 25 or
3/25

(I don't know how to write all these mathematic equations in text)

Answer 4

to change from percent to decimal, drop the percent sign and add a decimal point 2 places to the left so that 12% becomes 12/100

now we can reduce 12/100 to be, by dividing top and bottom by 4, 3/25 and that is your reduced fraction.

one of the most important math skills one can learn besides the basic adding, subtracting, etc, is how to convert between a fraction, decimal and percent in any direction.
