Using the lowest common denominator: #13/100#

We can almost finish our fraction by translating the Latin origin of the term "percent," which means "for each hundred" (per means "for each," and cent is 100).

13 out of every 100, or 13 for each 100.

As a fraction, that would be #13/100#. Additionally, because 13 is a prime number, we cannot reduce the fraction any more, so the final fraction is #color(red)(13/100)#

Any percentage can be written as a fraction by dividing it by #100%#. Because you can't reduce #13/100# any more than it is, #13/100# is your answer.

#(13%)/(100%) = 13/100#
