that is your percent. 16.666666666%

Remember that a percent means some portion of one hundred. You can set the problem up like this to remind you:

1/6=x/100

To solve, divide 1 by 6, making sure your answer is in decimal form. This yields a repeating decimal, .166666...

The last step is to multiply by 100. This gives you 16.666... percent, which can also be stated as 16 and two thirds percent. Or identify the repeating decimal by putting a line over it.

Divide 1 by 6. Remember that a fraction really means to divide the numerator by the denominator.

You do not divide 100 by 6, that would be 6/100, not 1/6.

1 divided by 6 times 100 = 16.6%

same for any other fraction ex 3/4 as a percent is:
3 divided by 4 times 100 = 75%

one of three methods:
1. divide 1 by 6 and mult. by 100
2. divide 100 by 6
3. write out 1/6 = x/100 and cross multiply 100 times 1 and divide by 6.

It equals 16.6666666666... (repeating) so about 16 or 17%

"percent" is really also just a fraction, but it's expressed in hundredths.

So 1/6 = 10/60 = 16.6666 (recurring) percent
