Question

Mixed number 66 2/3 % equals what percent in the simplest form

Answer 1

`66(2)/(3)\% = (2)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given:

`66(2)/(3)\%`

Required

Express in its simplest form

`66(2)/(3)\%`

Convert to improper fraction

`66(2)/(3)\% = (66*3+2)/(3)\%`

`66(2)/(3)\% = (198+2)/(3)\%`

`66(2)/(3)\% = (200)/(3)\%`

% means
`(1)/(100)`

So, we have:

`66(2)/(3)\% = (200)/(3) * (1)/(100)`

`66(2)/(3)\% = (200*1)/(3*100)`

`66(2)/(3)\% = (2*1)/(3*1)`

`66(2)/(3)\% = (2)/(3)`

The expression has been finally simplified
