Hey there! Let's help you!

To find the percent of a number, simply divide the numerator by the denominator and then multiply by 100. A numerator is the top part of the fraction. A denominator is the bottom part of the fraction.

So, you divide 5, which is the numerator, by 16, which is the denominator. 5 divided by 16 is equal to 0.3125. Now, multiply 0.3125 by 100. Or to make it simpler, just move the decimal two places to the right. Finally, you get 31.25 which is the percent.

5/16 as a percent is: 31.25%

Thx!
