Question

How do you write 2/16 as a percent?​

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{(2)/(16)=12.5\%}`

Explanation:

`p\%=(p)/(100)\to p=p\cdot100\%\\\\(2)/(16)=(2:2)/(16:2)=(1)/(8)\\\\(1)/(8)=(1)/(8)\cdot100\%=(100)/(8)\%=12.5\%\\\\\text{Other method.}\\\\(1)/(8)=(1\cdot125)/(8\cdot125)=(125)/(1000)=(125:10)/(1000:10)=(12.5)/(100)=12.5\%`
