Question

What is .88 as a percent & as a fraction OR mixed number?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

88 hundredths can be written as a fraction as: `88/100`

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100",

Therefore `88/100` can be written as `88%`.

`88/100` can be reduced as a fraction to:

`(4 xx 22)/(4 xx 25) => (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4))) xx 22)/(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4))) xx 25) => 22/25`

Because `22/25` is less then `1` it cannot be written as a mixed number.
