Answer
As a simplified fraction 37 1/2% = 3/8.
A simple example:
1/2 is 50%, as in if you got 5 of 10 (5/10) you’d have 50%. As a fraction 5/10 =0.5
To change a number to a percent, you multiply the number by 100 and annex a percent sign (%). 0.5*100 = 50%
To go the other way, to change a percent to a number, divide the number by 100. 37 1/2% divided by 100 is 0.37 1/2 or 0.375.
Written as a simple fraction it is 375/1000.
Write the fraction in prime number so that 375/1000 = 5*5*5*3/5*5*5*2*2*2.
Each 5 in the denominator matches with a 5 in the numerator and you end up with 3/2*2*2.
That is 3/8.
As a simplified fraction 37 1/2% = 3/8.
