How do you write 250% as a fraction, mixed number, or whole number in simplest form?

250% as a fraction is actually 250/100, since it is more than one. This can be simplified to 25/10.

As a mixed number, you take the 25/10 and then take out 2, to get 2 and 5/10, which equals 2 and 1/2.

As a whole number, it's just 2.5.

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]
