I just need a little help

so if the PERCENT is 16% and the DECIMAL is .16(with a dash on top of 6) what would be the FRACTION?

if the PERCENT is 66 2/3% what would be the DECIMAL AND FRACTION

last one, if hte FRACTION is 18/15 what is the PERCENT and DECIMAL?

can you please explain how you got the answer, but not to detailed?

Going from percent to fraction is easy. Percent literally means "per 100" so just divide your percent by 100 to get a fraction. For example, 16% = 16/100. You can then simplify if you want, to get 16/100= 4/25.

66 2/3% = 0.66666.... or 0.6 (with a dash on top of the 6). The fraction is 2/3.

To go from a repeating decimal to a fraction, it's a little tricky. Here's how you do it: Notice how many numbers are in the repeating pattern -- in this case it's only the 6, so we have 1 repeating number. Use this "1" to tell you that you need to multiply your decimal by 10^1 to solve. (If our repeating decimal was 0.181818... that would be two repeating numbers and we'd need to use 10^2 to solve.) Anyhoo, we have 1 repeating number, so take your decimal, call it x and take 10^1 times x minus x to solve:

10x - x = 6.666... - 0.6666
9x = 6
x = 6/9 = 2/3

And that's how you go from repeating decimals to a fraction!

18/15 = 120% = 1.20

if the percent is 16% and the decimal is .16 with the 6 being repetitive, then the fraction is 1/6
if the percent is 66 2/3 %, the decimal is .66666666 repetitive because 2/3 as a decimal is .66666 repetitive. since the decimal is .6666666, then the fraction is 2/3
if the fraction is 18/15, the percent is 10 times that, which is 120%. find the decimal by dividing the percent by 100: 1.2

For #1, the answer is 1/6. For #2, the answer is 0.66 (with a bar over it) or 2/3. For #3, the answer is 120% or 1.2. The first percent should have read 16.6 % (repeating) or 16 2/3 %. You need to learn the decimal equivalents of the common fractions. The repeating ones are 1/3 (0.333...), 2/3 (0.666...), 1/6 (0.166...), 5/6 (0.833...), 1/9 (0.111...) etc. The ninths follow a simple pattern. The worst are the sevenths, but even they have a pattern that is easy to learn.

1/6 is the fraction for the first one-because 1.000 divided by 6=.16 and the 6 is repeating.

2/3 is the fraction and .666 is the decimal for the second one- 2.000 diveded by 3= .6 repeating; the fraction, you would take 662/3% and change it to a decimal (.666 with the last 6 repeating) and turn it into a fraction by using the decimal. What I would usually do to find the fraction is divide 6 by three and putting the 2 over the 3.

the third one is 120% and 1.20.-you take the % and move it two times to the left and turn it into a decimal . you take 18.000 divided by 15=1.20/120%

i do no longer understand your occasion... 4 * 2/eleven = 8/eleven the place did the 4/a million come from...that is no longer suitable.... till what you're saying is that the 4 will become 4/a million...that is maximum dazzling, an entire style can consistently be written as a fragment by using putting a a million interior the denominator. So say you had the style 7 and it had to be written in fraction type, it may be written as 7/a million (a fragment is only yet differently of dividing so think of seven divided by using a million is what? 7) So up on your occasion you've 4/a million * 2/eleven multiply the numerators and multiply he denominators 8/eleven. i'm hoping that become a minimum of a sprint useful

1st one: frac is 16/100
2nd one: decimal: 0.666666(recuring)
Fraction: 2/3
3rd one: percent: 120
Decimal: 1.2
