Question 283723
Any number that can be written as a fraction is, by definition, a rational number.
.
29.6% is mathematically = 0.296.
.
And we see that .296 = 296 thousandths, which we can show as:
.
{{{296/1000 = 0.296}}}
.
{{{296/1000 = (2*148)/(2*500) = (4*74)/(4*250) = (8*37)/(8*125)}}}
.
The 8's cancel, so we end up with
.
{{{37/125 = .296}}}
.
Done.
