Answer 2

Let's convert to decimal first, and I'll explain why later.

To convert  1/ 6  to decimal, just divide  1 by  6 !!

(That's what the fraction is showing; a fraction = numerator  ÷  denominator)

1  ÷  6  =  0.16666666 ...

So, that is  1/ 6  in decimal form!

( 0.16  recurring)

Note that per in percent means each and  c e n t  means 100.

Therefore, percentage is just the quantity out of  

100

! Simple!

So, multiply the decimal form of  

1 /6  by  100  

(That is why I did decimal first)

0.16666666 ... x 100

=  16.66666 ... %
