Introduction
In mathematics, a fraction is a number that represents a part of a whole. It is written as a ratio of two integers, with the fraction bar between them. The number on the top is called the numerator, and the number on the bottom is called the denominator.
For example, if someone has two apples and wants to divide them equally between three people, they would give each person two-thirds (2/3) of an apple. This can also be written as a decimal: 0.66 (repeating).
When we want to find what a certain percent of something is, we can also use fractions. For example, 65% can be written as 65/100 or 0.65 (repeating). This means that 65% of something is equal to 65 parts out of 100, or two-thirds (2/3) of it.
What is 65 Percent as a Fraction?
To find out what 65% is as a fraction, we need to convert it to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100. To do this, we can use the fact that Percent means “per 100”.
To convert 65% to a fraction with a denominator of 100, we can divide the numerator (65) by the denominator (100). This gives us the fraction:
65/100
We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 5. This gives us:
13/20
How to Convert 65 Percent to a Fraction
To convert 65 percent to a fraction, we first need to understand what percentage is. “Percent” means “per 100” or “over 100.” So, 65 percent means 65 over 100 or, in fraction form, 65/100. We can simplify this by getting rid of the common factors in both the numerator and denominator. In this case, the greatest common factor is 5, so we get:
65% = (65 ÷ 5) / (100 ÷ 5) = 13 / 20
How to Convert a Fraction to a Percent
There are a few steps in converting fractions to percents, and we will go through each one using the fraction ¾ as an example. In order to convert a fraction to a percent, you will need

First, let us look at what 65% means. 65% means 65 per 100 or, in other words, 65 out of 100. You could also say that it is equal to the fraction ¾.
Converting the fraction ¾ to percent is quite easy using division:
75 = 75/100 = 75%
Conclusion
To sum up, 65 percent can be written as a fraction in two different ways:
-As a fraction with a denominator of 100, where the numerator is equal to 65: 65/100
-As a fraction with a denominator of 10, where the numerator is equal to 13: 13/10
