37.5% = 37.5%/100% = 37.5/100 = 375/1000 = (3*125)/(8*125) = (3/8)*(125/125) = 3/8
37.5%
= 37.5/100 ("%" is a shorthand way to write "/100")
= 375/1000
= (3*125)/(8*125)
= (3/8)*(125/125)
= (3/8)*1
= 3/8
= 37.5/100 ("%" is a shorthand way to write "/100")
= 375/1000
= (3*125)/(8*125)
= (3/8)*(125/125)
= (3/8)*1
= 3/8
Change any percent to a fraction by dividing by 100% and reducing the result. Often, the first reduction is to remove the %/%.
37.5% = 37.5%/100% = 37.5/100 = 375/1000 = (3*125)/(8*125) = (3/8)*(125/125) = 3/8
37.5% = 37.5%/100% = 37.5/100 = 375/1000 = (3*125)/(8*125) = (3/8)*(125/125) = 3/8
