Question

Write 16 2/3% a as a decimal and b as a reduced fraction

Answer 1

Given the following percentage:

$16\frac{2}{3}$

Convert into a decimal and into a reduced fraction

16 + 2/3 =

16 + 2/3 = 0.166666 percent or 0.16 as a repeating decimal

To convert the decimal into a fraction:

$\frac{(0.16\times10^2)-0}{10^2-1}=\frac{16}{99}$

Fraction already reduced no need to simplify it further so....

= 16 / 99
