Given: 3.6%
3.6% =
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 3.6
Simplify
Greatest Common Factor of 36 and 1,000: GCF(36, 1,000) = 4
Therefore, 3.6% converted to a fraction: 3.6% =
3.6% =
3.6 /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 3.6
3.6/100
= 3.6 * 10/100 * 10
= 36/1,000
Simplify
36/1,000
if possible:Greatest Common Factor of 36 and 1,000: GCF(36, 1,000) = 4
36/1,000
= 36 ÷ 4/1,000 ÷ 4
= 9/250
in simplest formTherefore, 3.6% converted to a fraction: 3.6% =
9/250
