#6 15/25=6.60=660%#

Explanation:

To convert a fraction in decimal, one should make denominator a power of #10#. Here as denominator is #25#, we can easily do it by multiplying numerator and denominator by #4#.

Hence #6 15/25=6 (15xx4)/(25xx4)=6 60/100#

= #6 6/10=6+6/10+0/100=6.60#

And to convert a fraction in percent, we have to just multiply it by #100#.

Hence #6 15/25=6.60=6.60xx100%=660%#
