Given: 37.5%
37.5% =
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 37.5
Simplify
Greatest Common Factor of 375 and 1,000: GCF(375, 1,000) = 125
Therefore, 37.5% converted to a fraction: 37.5% =
37.5% =
37.5 /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 37.5
37.5/100
= 37.5 * 10/100 * 10
= 375/1,000
Simplify
375/1,000
if possible:Greatest Common Factor of 375 and 1,000: GCF(375, 1,000) = 125
375/1,000
= 375 ÷ 125/1,000 ÷ 125
= 3/8
in simplest formTherefore, 37.5% converted to a fraction: 37.5% =
3/8
