Answer: [tex]\dfrac{3}{25}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that to convert a percent into fraction we divide it by 100.
Here , we need to express 12% as fraction.
So we divide it by 100, we get
[tex]12\%=\dfrac{12}{100}[/tex] (1)
Now , to simplify we divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF).
Since ,
[tex]12=4\times3\\\\ 100=4\times25[/tex]
So , 4 is the GCF of 12 and 100.
Then divide the numerator and the denominator by 4 in (1) , we get
[tex]\dfrac{12\div4}{100\div}=\dfrac{3}{25}[/tex]
Hence, 12% expressed as [tex]\dfrac{3}{25}[/tex] .
