Given: 2.25%
2.25% =
Clear the decimal in the numerator:
Multiply numerator and denominator by 100 (102) since there are 2 digits to the right of the decimal point in 2.25
Simplify
Greatest Common Factor of 225 and 10,000: GCF(225, 10,000) = 25
Therefore, 2.25% converted to a fraction: 2.25% =
2.25% =
2.25 /100
Clear the decimal in the numerator:
Multiply numerator and denominator by 100 (102) since there are 2 digits to the right of the decimal point in 2.25
2.25/100
= 2.25 * 100/100 * 100
= 225/10,000
Simplify
225/10,000
if possible:Greatest Common Factor of 225 and 10,000: GCF(225, 10,000) = 25
225/10,000
= 225 ÷ 25/10,000 ÷ 25
= 9/400
in simplest formTherefore, 2.25% converted to a fraction: 2.25% =
9/400
