An easy way to do this for any 2 digot number less than 1 but greater than 0 is to simply right the number (without the decimal point) on the top of the fraction and put 100 as the bottom, then reduce if necessary.

e.g. 95% or .95 = 95/100 then reduce (divide by 5) to 19/20

e.g. 0.72 = 72/100 then reduce (divide by 4) to 18/25

For a decimal with more than 3 places however this will not work.

Percent always means “out of one hundred”. So when you have a percent, 100 will always be the denominator. 95% as a fraction is:

95/100

You can then divide the numerator and the denominator by the highest common multiple of 5 and simplify this to:

19/20

Hope this helps!

well all percents are out of 100 so 95% would be 95/100 and youd have to simplify it to 19/20 by dividing each by 5

to change percentages to fractions u have to divide the percentage by 100….and simplify it…so it’s like this…..95/100…divide each side by 5 and u get =19/20…so the answer is 19/20
