Identify the fraction that best represents each of these percentage values
How is a percentage a special form of fraction?
A percentage is a special form of a fraction because it expresses a number as a ratio of 100. Other fractions, on the other hand, express a number as a ratio of two numbers.
For example, the fraction 1/4 can be written as 25% because 1/4 is equivalent to 25/100. To convert a fraction to a percentage, you can multiply the numerator and denominator by 100.
The numerator of the fraction represents the part and the denominator represents the whole. When you convert a fraction to a percentage, you are expressing the part as a ratio of 100.
Note:
Another way to think of it, is that if you have a fraction such as 3/4, it means you have 3 parts out of 4. In percentage, it means you have 75% of the whole. So, percentages can be thought of as a special form of fraction that express a number as a ratio out of 100.
