a) True
b) False

Answer 1

The population of a town increased by 16 2/3 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of a town increased by 16 2/3 percent.

First, we need to convert 16 2/3 percent to a decimal. To do this, we add the whole number part (16) to the fraction part (2/3) by dividing 2 by 3 to get 0.67. Then, we add 16 to 0.67 to get 16.67.

Therefore, the statement is True.
