#10%#

Explanation:

When we convert a fraction into a percentage, it would be nice if the denominator is #100#, because the numerator would be the percent.

Here's what I mean:

We can multiply the top and the bottom of our fraction by #10# to obtain the equivalent fraction

#1/10 color(blue)(xx 10/10) =10/100#

Since percents are out of #100#, and our denominator is #100#, the numerator is the percent.

#10/100=10%#

Hope this helps!
