Given: 62.5%
62.5% =
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 62.5
Simplify
Greatest Common Factor of 625 and 1,000: GCF(625, 1,000) = 125
Therefore, 62.5% converted to a fraction: 62.5% =
62.5% =
62.5 /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 62.5
62.5/100
= 62.5 * 10/100 * 10
= 625/1,000
Simplify
625/1,000
if possible:Greatest Common Factor of 625 and 1,000: GCF(625, 1,000) = 125
625/1,000
= 625 ÷ 125/1,000 ÷ 125
= 5/8
in simplest formTherefore, 62.5% converted to a fraction: 62.5% =
5/8
