Nov 9, 2016

$\frac{1}{10}$ $1/10$

Explanation:

% percent stands for parts per hundred. So percent is a fraction written in another way.

Changing $10 %$ $10%$ into a fraction starts with making it a fraction with a denominator of 100

$\frac{10}{100}$ $10/100$ is the fraction with a denominator of 100

This fraction can be factor to a fraction of the same value but smaller numbers .

$\frac{10 \times 1}{10 \times 10}$ $( 10 xx 1) /( 10 xx 10)$ ; $\frac{10}{10} = 1$ $10/10 = 1$ so the answer is

$\frac{1}{10}$ $1/10$
