Question

16 2/3% into a fraction in simplest form

Answer 1

Percentage is parts of 100. 
An example: 2% is 2100

So we need to convert your 1623% into parts of 100
Write 1623 as 16+23

Change into fractions of 100 parts

16100+23100

But 23100=23×1100

Now we have 16100+2×13×100

16100+2300

Before we can add these directly we need to make the bottom numbers the same (denominators)

Need to change the 100 in 16100 into 300.

Multiply by 1 but in the form of 33

16×3100×3+2300

=48300+2300=50300

Simplifying gives:

=50÷10300÷10=5/30 =

5÷530÷5=(1/6)
