How do you write 250% as a fraction, mixed number, or whole number in simplest form?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To express 250% as a fraction, mixed number, or whole number in simplest form, we can follow a systematic approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Converting Percent to Fraction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Understanding Percent<\/strong>: The term “percent” means “per hundred.” Therefore, 250% can be expressed as a fraction:
    [
    250\\% = \\frac{250}{100}
    ]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Simplifying the Fraction<\/strong>: Next, we simplify the fraction (\\frac{250}{100}). To do this, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • The GCD of 250 and 100 is 50.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • We divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:
      [
      \\frac{250 \\div 50}{100 \\div 50} = \\frac{5}{2}
      ]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Mixed Number Form<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      To convert the improper fraction (\\frac{5}{2}) into a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Performing the Division<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • (5 \\div 2 = 2) with a remainder of 1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Writing as a Mixed Number<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • The whole number part is 2, and the remainder (1) becomes the numerator of the fractional part, with 2 as the denominator. Thus, (\\frac{5}{2}) can be written as:
              [
              2 \\frac{1}{2}
              ]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Whole Number Form<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Since 250% is greater than 100%, it cannot be expressed as a whole number. However, we can consider the whole number part of our mixed number. The whole number part is 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              In conclusion, 250% can be expressed as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Fraction<\/strong>: (\\frac{5}{2})<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Mixed Number<\/strong>: (2 \\frac{1}{2})<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Whole Number<\/strong>: 2 (noting that it represents only the whole number part of the mixed number).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
