Given: 2.4%
2.4% =
Clear the decimal in the numerator:
Multiply numerator and denominator by 10 (101) since there is 1 digit to the right of the decimal point in 2.4
Simplify
Greatest Common Factor of 24 and 1,000: GCF(24, 1,000) = 8
Therefore, 2.4% converted to a fraction: 2.4% =
2.4% =
2.4 /100
Clear the decimal in the numerator:
Multiply numerator and denominator by 10 (101) since there is 1 digit to the right of the decimal point in 2.4
2.4/100
= 2.4 * 10/100 * 10
= 24/1,000
Simplify
24/1,000
if possible:Greatest Common Factor of 24 and 1,000: GCF(24, 1,000) = 8
24/1,000
= 24 ÷ 8/1,000 ÷ 8
= 3/125
in simplest formTherefore, 2.4% converted to a fraction: 2.4% =
3/125
