A: 33 2/3%
B: 150%
C: 66 2/3%
D: 65%

Answer 1

C 66 2/3%

Explanation:

1/3 = 33 1/3%

1/3 = 33 1/3 ∙ 1/100 % means 1/100

1/3 = 100/3 ∙ 1/100 33 1/3= (33∙3+1)/3=100/3

1/3 = 100/300 Reduce

1/3 = 1/3 Check so

1/3 = 33 1/3%

Now 2/3=?%

We know that 2/( 3) = N ∙ 1/100 meaning of percent (%)

2/3 = N/100

200 = 3N

200/3 = N

66.66 =N

Therefore 2/3 = 66 2/3 %
