Question

how do you write 72.5% as a fraction in simplest form

Answer 1

So you put 72.5 over 100 (72.5/100)
Then you multiply the top and the bottom by 10 to get rid of the decimal, giving you 725/1000
Then you divide the top and bottom by like factors, starting with 5 (145/200)
Then another 5, giving you 29 over 40 (29/40)

Answer 2

725/1000 or if you wanna break it down you can put it as 29/40
