To convert 35 percent to a fraction, we start by understanding that ‘percent’ means ‘per hundred.’ Therefore, 35 percent can be written as:
35% = 35/100
Next, we simplify the fraction. Both the numerator (35) and the denominator (100) can be divided by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:
35 ÷ 5 = 7
100 ÷ 5 = 20
Thus, we get:
35/100 = 7/20
So, 35 percent as a fraction is 7/20.
