• When we are using percentages, what we are really saying is that the percentage is a fraction of 100. "Percent" means per hundred, and so 50% is the same as saying 50/100 or 5/10 in fraction form.

ㅤㅤㅤ

• So, since our denominator in 5/16 is 16, we could adjust the fraction to make the denominator 100. To do that, we divide 100 by the denominator:

ㅤㅤㅤ

➡ㅤ$\large\frac{100}{16} = 6.25$

ㅤㅤㅤ

➡ㅤ$\large \frac{5 \times 6.25}{16 \times 6.25}=\frac {31.25}{100}$

ㅤㅤㅤ

➡ㅤ$Hence,\frac{5}{16}$ $={\tt{\purple{31.25}}}$ %

ㅤㅤㅤ

• We can also work this out in a simpler way by first converting the fraction 5/16 to a decimal. To do that, we simply divide the numerator by the denominator:

ㅤㅤㅤ

➡ㅤ$\large5÷16 = 0.3125$

ㅤㅤㅤ

➡ㅤ$\large0.3125 \times 100 = 31.25$

ㅤㅤㅤ

➡ㅤ$Hence,\frac{5}{16}$ $={\tt{\purple{31.25}}}$ %

ㅤㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤㅤ

ㅤAnd there you have it.. Two different ways to convert 5/16 to a percentage. Both are pretty straightforward and easy to do !
