Question

Express $\frac{16}{25}$ as a percentage.

• A. $6.4\%$
• B. $16\%$
• C. $32\%$
• D. $64\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $64\%$

​​​To convert the given fraction into percentage, we multiply it by 100, so that we get the number of parts out of 100.
$\frac{16}{25}\times 100=\frac{16}{25}\times 25\times 4$
$=16\times 4=64\%$

Hence, $\frac{16}{25}$ is equal to 64%.
