To solve the problem, you need to convert the fraction into a decimal then into a percent.
1 in fraction form is 1/1 which is 1.0 in decimal form and 100% in percent form.
1/2 is 0.5 (because we are halfing, or dividing 1 from 2) in decimal form. 0.5 is 50% in percent form.
Add the percentages up and you will have the sum of 150%.
The fraction [tex]\bold{1\dfrac{2}{5}}[/tex] can be expressed as 140%.
A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole.
A mixed fraction is a fraction that contains a whole number and a fraction whose denominator is greater than the numerator.
A percentage is also a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction [tex]\bold{\dfrac{1}{4}}[/tex] can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.
To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.
[tex]\bold{1\dfrac{2}{5}}[/tex]
Converting the fraction to decimal form,
[tex]\bold{1\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{(5\times 1)+2}{5}=\dfrac{7}{5}=1.4}[/tex]
Converting the decimal to percentage form,
[tex]\bold{1.4\times 100 = 140\%}[/tex]
Hence, the fraction [tex]\bold{1\dfrac{2}{5}}[/tex] can be expressed as 140%.
