write the percentage in simplest form 6 2/3 %
Answers
Answer:
2/3 is in it's simplest fractional form. There are no factors in both the numerator and denominator to be removed. For example, in the fraction 14/16, you can divide the top and bottom by 2. 14 / 2 = 7, and 16 / 2 = 8, so 14/16 can be reduced to 7/8.
SIMPLEST FORM OF 6 2/3 % = 66.6666
Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this: percent100
Step 2: If the percent is not a whole number, then multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (For example, if there is one number after the decimal, then use 10, if there are two then use 100, etc.)
Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction
EXAMPLE : Convert 11% to a fraction
Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this
percent /100
Step 2: The percent is a whole number, go straight to step 3.
Step 3: The fraction cannot be simplified further.
