lets start out with this; 16% is = .16
since we're dealing with percents and fractions, notice that the 6 is in hundredths place. next u would take the percent sign away so u would get 16
next u would put 16 into a fraction so that it will b writen like this:
16/100.
this fraction can b reduced. so u would want to figure out the highest number is that can go into both 16 and 100. just to make it easier in u, its 4:
so now u divide the top and bottom by 4, so the answer is:
4/25.
since 4 is an even number and 25 is an odd number, the fraction is as low as its gonna get.

since 16% is: 16 out of 100
you have 16 fractions of a total of 100 = 16/100
then you just reduce: 8/50=4/25

the percent (%) symbol means "out of 100"
so 16 out of 100 is 16/100.
And reduce it. 8/50 = 4/25
so 4/25
