Question

how do you write 125% as fraction as a fraction or mixed number?

Answer 1

125% = 125/100 since it is percent so we always use the number divided by 100

Then simplify the fraction 125/100, find the greatest common factor, which is 25

125 divided by 25 is 5, 100 divided by 25 is 4

so 125/100 = 5/4

The next step is converting 5/4 to mixed number, dividing the numerator by the denominator. The numerator of the proper fraction is the remainder of the division. The denominator is the same as the denominator of the original fraction.

5/4 = 1 1/4
