To determine which fraction is equivalent to 72%, it's essential to convert the percentage to a fraction format first.

72% can be expressed as a fraction by writing it as \( \frac{72}{100} \). This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. Doing this gives us:

\[

\frac{72 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{18}{25}

\]

Now, looking at the choices, the fraction \( \frac{18}{25} \) matches this simplified fraction. This demonstrates that 72% corresponds to \( \frac{18}{25} \), confirming that this is indeed the correct answer. The other fractions do not simplify to represent 72% when converted into a percentage or compared using equivalent fractional forms.
