The easiest way that I have found to look at these kinds of problems is as follows:
First, we know that 87.5% is just a fancy way of writing 0.875, and we want to get rid of the decimal point and write is a fraction. To do this, we multiply it by 1000 to get 875, but we have to also divide it by 1000 to keep it the same number, so now we have:
875/1000
From here we can divide by the common factors, and in this case 5 seems to be the most obvious choice. So divide top and bottom by 5 to get:
175/200
Rinse and repeat to get:
35/40
Once more to get:
7/8
And there we have 87.5% as a fraction in lowest terms (simplest form).
Remove the decimal point from the percentage to make 875%. Then, convert 875% into a fraction (875/1000). This is your answer! You may simplify this if you required...
875/1000 0.875
8.75 = 875 / 100 = 35/4
875/1000 = 7/8
87 and a half percent:87 1/2%= 87.5%= 0.875 in decimal= 875/1000 or 7/8 in fraction
0.875 = 875/1000 = 7/8
87.5% = 87.5 / 100 = 875 / 1000 = 7/8 (simplest form)
875/100 or 8.75
87.5% = 875/1000 = 7/8
7/8. you first get 875/1000, but it is not in simplest form( such as 3/6 is 1/2
0.875 = 875/1000 = 175/200 = 35/40 = 7/8
Remove the decimal point from the percentage to make 875%. Then, convert 875% into a fraction (875/1000). This is your answer! You may simplify this if you required...
875/1000=7/8
875/1000 0.875
135/875 = 27/175
875/1000 is equal to 7/8
8.75 is a fraction. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction. Its rational equivalent is 875/100 which can be simplified, if required.
