Answer:

Answer is 1/6

Explanation:

To convert 1/6 to decimal, just divide 1 by 6

(That's what the fraction is showing; a fraction = numerator ÷ denominator)

1 ÷ 6 = 0.16666666 ...

So that is 1 6 in decimal form!

( 0.16 recurring)

Note that per in percent means each and perc e n t means 100.

Therefore, percentage is just the quantity out of 100

! Simple!

So, multiply the decimal form of

1 6 by 100

(That is why I did decimal first)

0.16666666 ... ·(x) 100 = 16.66666 ... ... . %
