So, the correct answer is “0.3571”.

Now we have to convert the fraction into percentage. To convert the fraction into percentage we multiply the fraction into 100 and then simplify.
 \[\dfrac{5}{{14}} \times 100\% \]
On simplifying we have
 \[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{7} \times 50\% \]
 \[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{250}}{7}\% \]
So dividing the number 250 by 7 we have 35.71
