Consider the following example on Convert Fraction To Percent:

(i) 20% 

[We know % = 1/100]

= 20/100

[Now we need to reduce 20/100 to its lowest term]

= 20/100 ÷ 20/20

[Divide both the numerator and denominator by 20]

= 1/5

(ii) 6%

[We know % = 1/100]

= 6/100

[Now we need to reduce 6/100 to its lowest term]

= 6/100 ÷ 2/2

[Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2]

= 3/50



(iii) 150%

[We know % = 1/100]

= 150/100

[Now we need to reduce 150/100 to its lowest term]

= 150/100 ÷ 50/50

[Divide both the numerator and denominator by 50]

= $\frac{3}{2}$

= 1$\frac{1}{2}$



(iv) 48%

[We know % = 1/100]

= 48/100

[Now we need to reduce 48/100 to its lowest term]

= 48/100 ÷ 4/4

[Divide both the numerator and denominator by 4]

= 12/25



(v) 92%

[We know % = 1/100]

= 92/100

[Now we need to reduce 92/100 to its lowest term]

= 92/100 ÷ 4/4

[Divide both the numerator and denominator by 4]

= 23/25



(vi) 25%

[We know % = 1/100]

= 25/100

[Now we need to reduce 25/100 to its lowest term]

= 25/100 ÷ 25/25

[Divide both the numerator and denominator by 25]

= 1/4

(vii) Express 42% as fraction.

Solution:

42%

= 42 × $\frac{1}{100}$

= $\frac{42}{100}$

Divide numerator and denominator by 2, we get

= $\frac{21}{50}$

Therefore, 42% = $\frac{21}{50}$

(viii) Express 66$\frac{2}{3}$% as a fraction:

Solution:

66$\frac{2}{3}$%

= $\frac{(66 × 3) + 2}{3}$%

= $\frac{198 + 2}{3}$%

= $\frac{200}{3}$%

= $\frac{200}{3}$ × $\frac{1}{100}$

= $\frac{200}{300}$

= $\frac{2}{3}$
