whats 65% as a fraction or mixed number in simpliest form and as a decimal

Question

hi im having trouble on my math homework please show work

Answer 1

any time you are trying to convert from a percentage to a decimal you can just divide by 100! so this one becomes

65% / 100 = 0.65 as a decimal

for fraction then i would write it out of 100 and then simplify as much as possible

65/100

= 13 / 20 (if you divide both parts by 5)

Answer 2

So the fraction form of 65% is 65/100, both the top and buttom number of the fraction can be divided by 5. So i divided both by 5 and got 13/20, 13 is only a product of 1X13 so we know 13 cannot be further divided, and 20 and 13 share no common factors so your answer is 13/20/
