Explanation

Converting a fraction to a percentage is a task for students that can be done easily. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

 

Step 1: Firstly, any fraction should be converted to a decimal for easy calculation. Here, divide the numerator by the denominator: 2 ÷ 6 = 0.3333 (repeating).

 

Step 2: To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply the decimal by 100. 0.3333 × 100 = 33.33%

 

Step 3: The result is an approximation because the decimal is repeating, so the percentage is also often rounded to two decimal places.

 

Thus, 2/6 can be written as approximately 33.33%.
