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