8. sixty percent of the answers were right. what fraction of the answers were right?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Convert percentage to fraction
Percent means per - hundred. So, (60%=\frac{60}{100}).
Step2: Simplify the fraction
Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 60 and 100. The factors of 60 are (1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60) and the factors of 100 are (1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100). The GCD of 60 and 100 is 20. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 20: (\frac{60\div20}{100\div20}=\frac{3}{5}).
Answer:
(\frac{3}{5})
