Question

8% as a mixed number in simplest form ?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100",

Therefore 8% can be written as `8/100`

We can simplify this as:

`8/100 => (4 * 2)/(4 * 25) =>.(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4))) * 2)/(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4))) * 25) => 2/25`

This is a fraction and not a mixed number. If you truly need a mixed number we can write:

`0 + 2/25 = 0 2/25`
