Part a) How do you write \(250\)% as a fraction in simplest form?
we know that
\(250\)% is equal to
\(\frac{250}{100}\)
Divide by \(50\) boths numerator and denominator
\(\frac{250}{100}=\frac{\frac{250}{50}}{\frac{100}{50}} \\ \\ =\frac{5}{2}\)
the answer Part a) is
The number as a fraction in simplest form is \(\frac{5}{2}\)
Part b) How do you write \(250\)% as a mixed number in simplest form?
we know that
A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a fraction.
\(\frac{5}{2} =\frac{4}{2} +\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ =2+\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ =2\frac{1}{2}\)
therefore
the answer Part b) is
The number as a mixed number in simplest form is \(2\frac{1}{2}\)
Part c) How do you write \(250\)% as a whole number in simplest form?
we know that
\(250\)% is equal to
\(\frac{5}{2} =2.5\)
Round up the number to the nearest whole number
so
the answer Part c) is
The number as a whole number in simplest form is \(3\)
