Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To write 8.4% as a fraction in simplest form, we write 8.4% as a fraction with a denominator of 100:

8.4% = 8.4/100

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF), which in this case is 4:

8.4/100 = 2.1/25

Therefore, 8.4% as a fraction in simplest form is 2.1/25.

I apologize for the mistake. You are correct.

To write 8.4% as a fraction in simplest form, we first convert 8.4% to decimal form by dividing by 100:

8.4% = 8.4/100 = 0.084

Next, we write 0.084 as a fraction. Since there is one decimal place, we put the decimal part over 10 raised to the power of the number of decimal places:

0.084 = 84/1000

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF), which in this case is 4:

84/1000 = 21/250

Therefore, 8.4% as a fraction in simplest form is 21/250.

Answer 4

To express 8.4% as a fraction in simplest form, we need to convert the percentage into a fraction.

Step 1: Remember that a percent can be thought of as "per hundred." So 8.4% can be written as 8.4 per hundred or 8.4/100.

Step 2: To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). In this case, the GCF of 8.4 and 100 is 4.

Step 3: Divide 8.4 by 4 to get 2.1, and divide 100 by 4 to get 25.

Therefore, 8.4% in simplest form is equal to 2.1/25.
