Question

How do you convert 1/6 into a percent and decimal?

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

Let's convert to decimal first, and I'll explain why later.

To convert `1/6` to decimal, just divide `1` by `6`!!
(That's what the fraction is showing; a fraction = numerator `divide` denominator)

`1divide6=0.16666666...`

So that is `1/6` in decimal form!
(`0.16` recurring)

Note that per in percent means each and `cent` means 100.

Therefore, percentage is just the quantity out of `100`! Simple!

So, multiply the decimal form of `1/6` by `100` (That is why I did decimal first)

`0.16666666...*100=16.66666.......%`
