16.5% as a fraction

 

Answer

 

The answer for 16.5% as a fraction is 33/200.

 

Explanation

 

Converting a percentage to a fraction is a straightforward task for students. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

 

Step 1: Firstly, any percentage should be converted to a fraction by dividing by 100. Here, 16.5% becomes 16.5/100.

 

Step 2: To remove the decimal from the fraction, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 16.5/100 × 10/10 = 165/1000

 

Step 3: Here 5 is the GCD of 165 and 1000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 5. 165/1000 = 33/200 Hence, 16.5% is in the form of a fraction as 33/200.

 

Thus, 16.5% can be written as a fraction 33/200.
