Question

What is 6/16 as a percent

Answer 1

To solve, use the percent proportion.


`(6)/(16) (x)/(100)`

To solve it, you multiply using cross products.

6 x 100 = 600

The other cross product includes a variable, so 16x = 600
Divide 600 by 16 and your answer is 37.5%

Answer 2

First, divide 6 by 16, which gives us 0.375, then we multiply this to get the percent value. 0.375 x 100 = 37.5, so this is our answer.
