Answer:

1.6 and 1 3/5

Explanation:

The word "percent" means "out of 100". This means 160% = 160/100. Dividing this, we get the decimal 1.6.

Reading 1.6, we read it as "one and 6 tenths." This can be written as

1 6/10. This fraction would then simplify, since we can divide 6 and 10 by 2: 1 3/5.
