What is 23.4 percent as a fraction?

Answer 1

"Percent" is another term for "hundredths"

So 23.4% = (23.4)/100

Since fractions aren't supposed to have decimal points in them, you have to multiply the numerator & denominator both by 10:

(23.4)/100 * 10/10 = 234/1000

That's the answer. You could reduce by factoring out a 2:

234/1000 = 117/500

Since 117 = 3*3*13 and 500 = 2*2*5*5*5, no further reduction is possible. The fraction is in lowest terms.
