Answer 1

`18/100`, or in simplified form, `9/50`

Explanation:

18% means that it is out of 100%.

For example:

• 18% of a book: the entire book is considered 100%, and you've only read 18% of it
• 18% on a test: the entire test was worth 100%, and you only scored 18%

As a decimal, 18% is `.18`. If you wanted to find 18% of $100, you would multiply 100 by .18, right?

Therefore, in a fraction, 18% is equivalent to:

`18/100`

You could simplify this fraction further:

`18/100 -: 2/2 = 9/50`
