Dang man you beat me to it! The one time I thought I was going to get to help someone else with a math question.

39/100

DUH!!!
That's what I came up with, but tried to break it down to a smaller fraction!!!
I told the wife, it must be a trick question. The book shows breaking them down to the smallest one.
We are just makin it hard on him trying to break it down when ya can't!!!

check.

or 78/200

or 19.5/50

Teachers love it when you show an understanding of the integration of the metric system.

You are probably right. If it had been 40%....that reduces from 40/100 to 2/5.
