To convert 125 percent into a fraction, we can start by remembering that ‘percent’ means ‘per hundred.’ Therefore, 125 percent can be expressed as:
125% = 125/100
Next, we need to simplify the fraction. Both the numerator (125) and the denominator (100) can be reduced by their greatest common divisor, which is 25:
125 ÷ 25 = 5
100 ÷ 25 = 4
So, when we simplify 125/100, we get:
125/100 = 5/4
Thus, 125 percent as a fraction is 5/4.
