Answer:

16% = 4/25

Explanation:

First, turn the percentage (16%) into a fraction with 100 in the denominator:

16% = 16/100

Now, you just need to simplify 16/100:

16/100

= 4/25

Both sides were divided by 4 to get the most simplified answer because 4 is the greatest common factor of 16 and 100.

Answer:


(4)/(25)

Explanation:

16% is equal to
(16)/(100)


(16)/(100) can be simplified by dividing by 2, giving you
(8)/(50), which can be divided by 2 again, giving you
(4)/(25).


(4)/(25) can't be simplified again.
