Converting Percent to Fractions

How to Convert a Percent to a Fraction

Step 1: Put the percent number over 100. That’s because percent means “per 100.”

Step 2: Simplify the fraction if you can.

🍕 Pizza Party Percent Example

Let’s say there’s a big pizza with 100 slices (just imagine 😄).

If your friend eats 40% of the pizza, that means they ate 40 out of 100 slices.

40%=40/100

Now simplify the fraction by 20:

40/100=2/5

So, 40% = 2/5

That means your friend ate 2 out of every 5 slices of the pizza!
