Question

Write the following as rational numbers in their standard form:

35%

Chart
Sum

Solution

Given, 35% = `35/100`

7 35
5 5
  1

 

2 100
2 50
5 25
5 5

By using prime factorisation, we get

35 = 7 x 5 and 100 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5

∴ HCF of 35 and 100 = 5

On dividing numerator and denominator by their HCF, we get

`(35 ÷ 5)/(100 ÷ 5) = 7/20`
