Hey there!

16 1 / 4% = 16(4) + 1 = 64 + 1 = 65

65 / 4% = 16.25%

• Percentages usually run out of 100

16.25 / 100

• Finding out the ratio of your given number, multiply the numerator and denominator by the number 4

16.25 * 4 / 100 * 4

16.25 * 4 = 65 (numerator)

100 * 4 = 400 (denominator)

• Equation: 65 / 400

• REDUCE the GIVEN FRACTION (65/400)

• Once when you have the fraction reduced you should have came up with: 13/80 (aka your answer)

• Answer: 13/80 ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
