Answer 2

Answer: As a fraction it is  145/2 and as a mixed number it is 72 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First write down the number like this, 72.5/1

Then multiply each number by ten like this, 72.5 x 10 = 725

And 1 x 10 = 10 and write that as a fraction like this, 725/10

Next do 725 divided by 5 = 145 and 10 divided by 5 = 2

And put that in a fraction like this 145/2

That is the fraction of 72.5%

As a mixed number you put the 72 as a whole number and 1/2 because 5 represents a half
