#66 2/3% = 2/3#

I suspect that the question that was intended is: What is #66 2/3%# as a fraction in simplest terms.

#66 2/3# is already a fraction on simplest terms, so nothing can be done.

However, #66 2/3%# means #(66 2/3)/100#

This can be simplified by dividing by #(33 1/3)/(33 1/3)#

#(66 2/3)/100 div (33 1/3)/(33 1/3) = 2/3#

As a decimal: #2/3 = 0.66666666.... = 66.66666...%#

The recurring decimal #0.66666.. # can be written as #2/3#
