Answer: [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A pelican consumes [tex]33\dfrac{1}{3}\%[/tex] of its body weight in one meal .
We know that to convert a mixed number into improper fraction , we multiply the denominator of the fraction to the whole number (at left side) and then add the product to the numerator.
i.e. [tex]33\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{33\times3+1}{3}=\dfrac{99+1}{3}=\dfrac{100}{3}[/tex]
We know that to convert percentage into fraction , we divide it by 100 .
So ,
[tex]33\dfrac{1}{3}\%=\dfrac{100}{3}\%\\\\=\dfrac{100}{3}\div100\\\\=\dfrac{100}{3}\times\dfrac{1}{100}=\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
Therefore , the required fraction ( in simplest form)= [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
