Answer» To convert 22.4 percent to a fraction follow these STEPS:Step 1: WRITE down the percent divided by 100 like this:22.4% = 22.4/100Step 2: Multiply both TOP and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:As we have 1 digit after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 10, or, simply shift 1 decimal place to the right. So,22.4/100 = (22.4 x 10)/(100 x 10) = 224/1000.Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(224,1000) = 8. So,(224÷8)/(1000÷8) = 28/125 when reduced to the simplest FORM. |
