How do you write 80% as a fraction?

Answer 1

#4/5#

#80%# is the same thing as #80# out of #100#, which can be written as a fraction as #80/100#.

The GCF, or greatest common factor, is the number we wish to divide both the numerator and the denominator by because they are both still divisible. Nevertheless, this can still be made simpler.

First, let's list out the factors of #color(blue)80#: #1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80#

Now the factors of #color(blue)100#: #1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100#

Now we find the largest factor of both numbers. That factor is #color(blue)20#.

So we divide both numerator by #color(blue)20#: #80/100 color(blue)(-: 20/20)#

Which equals: #4/5#

I hope this is useful.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
