Question

Write each percent as a fraction in simplest form. 16%

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{4}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

16% is equal to $\frac{16}{100}$

$\frac{16}{100}$ can be simplified by dividing by 2, giving you $\frac{8}{50}$, which can be divided by 2 again, giving you $\frac{4}{25}$.

$\frac{4}{25}$ can't be simplified again.

Answer 2

Answer:

16% = 4/25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn the percentage (16%) into a fraction with 100 in the denominator:

16% = 16/100

Now, you just need to simplify 16/100:

16/100

= 4/25

Both sides were divided by 4 to get the most simplified answer because 4 is the greatest common factor of 16 and 100.
