250% is the same thing as 2.5. This conversion from percent to decimal form is the first step. The part of this number before the decimal, 2, can be considered the whole number part of your target mixed number.

As for the part after the decimal, the .5, consider its rightmost place (in this case the last significant digit is in the tenths place) and use it as the denominator. Place your decimal part over this denominator: 5/10.

This yields a mixed number of 2 and 5/10. All that remains now is to simplify. 5 and 10 have common factor 5, so cancelling out those factors from top and bottom leaves 1/2.

That means your mixed number is 2 and 1/2.
