Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value. Anytime we simplify a fraction by eliminating common factors of the numerator and denominator, we create an equivalent fraction to the original fraction. Putting a fraction in simplest form is actually just a matter of creating an equivalent fraction that cannot be simplified any further.
Step 1: Convert 40% to a fraction form by dividing it by 100. Step 2: Find the GCF or the greatest common factor of 40 and 100. Step 3: Divide the numbers by the GCF to simplify fraction and reduce to its simplest form. Thus, 40% as a fraction in simplest form is 2/5.
For example, 40 is a whole number, meaning it does not include a fraction or a decimal. 40 is also a positive number. As a positive whole number, 40 can also be called a natural number because it can be counted in physical objects that are whole.
