Answer:
9 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this:
960% = 960/100
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:
As 960 is an integer, we don't have numbers after the decimal point. So, we just go to step 3.
Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(960,100) = 20. So,
(960÷20)/(100÷20) = 48/5 when reduced to the simplest form.
As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 960/100 is also equal to 9 3/5 when expressed as a mixed number.
