Question

What is 7.5% written as a fraction in simplest form

Answer 1

7.5 would be 75/1000. Then, divide both by 5. 15/200. And by 5 again. 3/40.

Answer 2

we know that

$7.5\%=\frac{7.5}{100}=\frac{75}{1,000}$

Divide by $25$ both sides

$\frac{75}{1,000}=\frac{3}{40}$

therefore

the answer is

$\frac{3}{40}$
