Let’s go through each one step by step:
---
Left Column:
1.
40%
$$
\frac{40}{100} = \frac{2}{5} \quad \text{(divide numerator and denominator by 20)}
$$
2.
55%
$$
\frac{55}{100} = \frac{11}{20} \quad \text{(divide by 5)}
$$
3.
27%
$$
\frac{27}{100} \quad \text{(already simplified)}
$$
4.
54%
$$
\frac{54}{100} = \frac{27}{50} \quad \text{(divide by 2)}
$$
5.
75%
$$
\frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4} \quad \text{(divide by 25)}
$$
6.
83%
$$
\frac{83}{100} \quad \text{(already simplified)}
$$
7.
6%
$$
\frac{6}{100} = \frac{3}{50} \quad \text{(divide by 2)}
$$
8.
24%
$$
\frac{24}{100} = \frac{6}{25} \quad \text{(divide by 4)}
$$
9.
7%
$$
\frac{7}{100} \quad \text{(already simplified)}
$$
10.
22%
$$
\frac{22}{100} = \frac{11}{50} \quad \text{(divide by 2)}
$$
---
Right Column:
1.
38%
$$
\frac{38}{100} = \frac{19}{50} \quad \text{(divide by 2)}
$$
2.
63%
$$
\frac{63}{100} \quad \text{(already simplified)}
$$
3.
64%
$$
\frac{64}{100} = \frac{16}{25} \quad \text{(divide by 4)}
$$
4.
34%
$$
\frac{34}{100} = \frac{17}{50} \quad \text{(divide by 2)}
$$
5.
42%
$$
\frac{42}{100} = \frac{21}{50} \quad \text{(divide by 2)}
$$
6.
25%
$$
\frac{25}{100} = \frac{1}{4} \quad \text{(divide by 25)}
$$
7.
91%
$$
\frac{91}{100} \quad \text{(already simplified)}
$$
8.
80%
$$
\frac{80}{100} = \frac{4}{5} \quad \text{(divide by 20)}
$$
9.
90%
$$
\frac{90}{100} = \frac{9}{10} \quad \text{(divide by 10)}
$$
10.
85%
$$
\frac{85}{100} = \frac{17}{20} \quad \text{(divide by 5)}
$$
