Solution Steps

To convert a percentage to a fraction, we first express the percentage as a fraction with a denominator of 100. Then, we simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator and dividing both by this GCD.

Step 1: Convert Percentage to Fraction

To convert \(2.75\%\) to a fraction, we first express it as: \[ \frac{2.75}{100} \]

Step 2: Eliminate the Decimal

To eliminate the decimal, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100: \[ \frac{2.75 \times 100}{100 \times 100} = \frac{275}{10000} \]

Step 3: Simplify the Fraction

To simplify \(\frac{275}{10000}\), we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 275 and 10000, which is 25. We then divide both the numerator and the denominator by 25: \[ \frac{275 \div 25}{10000 \div 25} = \frac{11}{400} \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\frac{11}{400}} \]

The article doesn't mention that the school with the higher obesity rate is in an area where most people are below the poverty line, nor does it mention that poverty can be a major factor in obesity. What validity is threatened by the potential confound of poverty?
