Question

Can someone please explain how to turn 16 2/3% into a fraction.

Answer 1

Answer:

⅙

Step-by-step explanation:

16 2/3%  given in the question

= 16 x 2/3

Making it in a simpler form

=  (48 +2 %  ) / 3

=  50/3  x 1/100

=  50/ 300

= ⅙

Answer 2

Answer:

16⅔ % = ⅙

Step-by-step explanation:

"Percent" means "divided by 100". So,              16⅔ % = 16⅔/100

Invert 100 and convert division to multiplication          = 16⅔ × ¹/₁₀₀

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction     =  ⁵⁰/₃ × ¹/₁₀₀

Cancel the 50s                                                                =   ⅓   × ½

Multiply numerators and denominators                        =   ⅙

∴ 16⅔ % = ⅙
