Write the percent as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form. \( 8 \% \) \( 8 \%=\square \)

To convert \(8\%\) to a fraction, you start by writing it as \( \frac{8}{100} \). Simplifying this fraction involves finding the greatest common divisor of 8 and 100, which is 4. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4 gives you \( \frac{2}{25} \). Therefore, \(8\% = \frac{2}{25}\). If you wanted to express it as a mixed number, you’d note that \( \frac{2}{25} \) is already in its simplest form and does not represent a whole number, so it remains \( \frac{2}{25} \). So, \(8\% = \frac{2}{25}\)!
