Question

How do you convert 50% into a fraction in simplest form?

Answer 1

`1/2`

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 50% can be written as: `50/100`.

`50/100 = (color(red)(50) xx 1)/(color(red)(50) xx 2)= (cancel(color(red)(50)) xx 1)/(cancel(color(red)(50)) xx 2) = 1/2`
