Question

How do you write 2/16 as a percent?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\dfrac{2}{16}=12.5\%}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\to p=p\cdot100\%\\\\\dfrac{2}{16}=\dfrac{2:2}{16:2}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{1}{8}\cdot100\%=\dfrac{100}{8}\%=12.5\%\\\\\text{Other method.}\\\\\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{1\cdot125}{8\cdot125}=\dfrac{125}{1000}=\dfrac{125:10}{1000:10}=\dfrac{12.5}{100}=12.5\%$
