Step-by-step explanation:
\begin{gathered} \text{Given:} \\ 6\text{ }(8)/(25)\text{ \%} \end{gathered}

To convert to decimal, we will first convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction:


\begin{gathered} 6(8)/(25)\text{ = }\frac{\text{(6}*25)+8\text{ }}{25}\text{= }\frac{\text{158}}{25} \\ \\ 6(8)/(25)\text{ \% = }\frac{\text{158}}{25}\text{ \%} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} we\text{ will divide by 100 to remove the percentage:} \\ (158)/(25)\text{ \% = }(158)/(25)*(1)/(100)\text{ = }(158)/(2500) \\ \\ in\text{ decimal, }(158)/(2500)\text{ = 0.0632} \end{gathered}
