Given: 64.2%
64.2% =
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 64.2
Simplify
Greatest Common Factor of 642 and 1,000: GCF(642, 1,000) = 2
Therefore, 64.2% converted to a fraction: 64.2% =
64.2% =
64.2 /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 64.2
64.2/100
= 64.2 * 10/100 * 10
= 642/1,000
Simplify
642/1,000
if possible:Greatest Common Factor of 642 and 1,000: GCF(642, 1,000) = 2
642/1,000
= 642 ÷ 2/1,000 ÷ 2
= 321/500
in simplest formTherefore, 64.2% converted to a fraction: 64.2% =
321/500
