I'll solve this problem step by step, converting each percentage to a fraction.
To convert a percentage to a fraction:
1. Write the percentage as a number over 100
2. Simplify the fraction if possible (divide both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor)
Let me work through each one:
Left Column:
40% = 40/100 = 4/10 =
2/5 (divided by 20)
55% = 55/100 =
11/20 (divided by 5)
27% =
27/100 (cannot be simplified - 27 and 100 have no common factors)
54% = 54/100 =
27/50 (divided by 2)
75% = 75/100 =
3/4 (divided by 25)
83% =
83/100 (cannot be simplified - 83 is prime)
6% = 6/100 =
3/50 (divided by 2)
24% = 24/100 =
6/25 (divided by 4)
7% =
7/100 (cannot be simplified - 7 is prime)
22% = 22/100 =
11/50 (divided by 2)
Right Column:
38% = 38/100 =
19/50 (divided by 2)
63% =
63/100 (cannot be simplified - 63 and 100 have no common factors)
64% = 64/100 =
16/25 (divided by 4)
34% = 34/100 =
17/50 (divided by 2)
42% = 42/100 =
21/50 (divided by 2)
25% = 25/100 =
1/4 (divided by 25)
91% =
91/100 (cannot be simplified - 91 and 100 have no common factors)
80% = 80/100 =
4/5 (divided by 20)
90% = 90/100 =
9/10 (divided by 10)
85% = 85/100 =
17/20 (divided by 5)
Final Answer:
40% = 2/5 38% = 19/50
55% = 11/20 63% = 63/100
27% = 27/100 64% = 16/25
54% = 27/50 34% = 17/50
75% = 3/4 42% = 21/50
83% = 83/100 25% = 1/4
6% = 3/50 91% = 91/100
24% = 6/25 80% = 4/5
7% = 7/100 90% = 9/10
22% = 11/50 85% = 17/20
