Converting Percentages to Fractions

In this video, Mr. J explains how to convert percentages into fractions. He begins by introducing the concept that a percent is a number out of 100. The video includes four examples: converting 23%, 10%, 94%, and 65% into fractions. Each example demonstrates removing the percent symbol, placing the number over 100, and simplifying the fraction if possible. The video concludes with a summary of the conversion process, emphasizing the importance of simplification.
