Write \( 28 \% \) as a decimal and as a simplified fraction. 0.28 and \( \frac{7}{25} \) 2,800 and \( \frac{2800}{1} \) 2.8 and \( \frac{28}{100} \) 0.28 and \( \frac{28}{100} \)

To convert \( 28\% \) to a decimal and a simplified fraction, we can follow these steps: 1. **Convert to Decimal:** - To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by \( 100 \): \[ 28\% = \frac{28}{100} = 0.28 \] 2. **Convert to Fraction:** - The fraction representation of \( 28\% \) is \( \frac{28}{100} \). - Now, we simplify \( \frac{28}{100} \): - The greatest common divisor (GCD) of \( 28 \) and \( 100 \) is \( 4 \). - Divide both the numerator and the denominator by \( 4 \): \[ \frac{28 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{7}{25} \] Thus, \( 28\% \) can be expressed as: - Decimal: \( 0.28 \) - Simplified Fraction: \( \frac{7}{25} \) The correct answer is: - \( 0.28 \) and \( \frac{7}{25} \)
