Convert Percent to a Fraction

 

4 1/2 % to a fraction

Answer 1

to change a per cent to a fraction, divide the number by 100 and simplify

 

in this case you can change 4 1/2 to 4.5 or 9/2

 

4.5/100 = 45/1000 = 9/200

 

(9/2) / 100 = 9/(2x100) = 9/200  (same answer)

 

Also, you can first change per cent to a decimal and then change to a fraction like this:

 

4 1/2 % = 4.5 % = .045 = 45/1000 = 9/200   (same answer)
