Question
how do you write 50% as a fraction, mixed number, or whole number?
Step1: Recall the definition of percentage
A percentage is a fraction out of 100. So 50% can be written as $\frac{50}{100}$.
Step2: Simplify the fraction
$\frac{50}{100}=\frac{50\div50}{100\div50}=\frac{1}{2}$
Since 50% is less than 1, it cannot be written as a mixed - number or a whole number.
