Question

Convert 1/6 to a percent

Answer 1

The written answer is in the photo attached.

An easy way to calculate any percentage of a fraction is dividing the numerator by the denominator. So if my fraction was 1/2, 1 divided by two is 0.5 so the percent is 50% (because 100% is 1). If my fraction was 1/4, my percent would be 25% because 1 divided by 4 equals 0.25 .

Answer 2

Answer: 1/6

Step-by-step explanation: To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. If we wanted to write 1/6 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 1/6 that has a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

`(1)/(6)` =
`(n)/(100)`

Now, we can use cross products to find the missing value.

6n = 100

÷6 ÷6

n = 16.7

Therefore, 1/6 is equal to 16.7%.

Therefore, 1/6 can be written as 16.7%.
