135% is equal to 1.35 or 135/100.

In order to simplify this fraction we must find the largest whole number that will divide in to both 135 and 100. (We do not necessarily have to do this in 1 step).

We should be able to immediately see that both numbers will divide by 5. So if we divide top and bottom by 5 we get:

27/20.

Now we ask is there another whole number that will divide in to both 27 and 20 (giving a whole number as a result)? The answer is no. Therefore we have simplified this fraction as far as we can.

So 135% as a fraction is 27/20.

This is known as an improper or top heavy fraction. If we want to write this as a mixed number we ask, how many whole times will 20 go in to 27. The answer is once with 7 remaining. This is therefore written as 1 7/20.
