Easy peasy.

Do the math.

Percents are outta 100, so,

175/100

But that's improper, because the numerator is bigger than the denominator. And improper fractions are not simplified. Also 175 and 100 are both divisible by 5.

So divide them both by 5.

35/20 Keep going. 7/5

There. We can't go anymore.

Now for the improper part.

One 5 goes into 7, so a 1 will go before the fraction.

And since we took 5 out of the numerator, we do 7-5

which is 2.

So the final fraction is. . .

1 2/5

And it's simplified.

Hope I helped.

1 2/5 is not correct.... both 175 and 100 can be divided by 25 so 175/25 = 7 and 100/25 = 4 so now you have 7/4. 4 goes into 7 one time which leaves 3. The answer is 1 3/4.
