100÷16=6.25
Once we have that, we can multiple both the numerator and denominator by this multiple:
9×6.2516×6.25=56.25100
Now we can see that our fraction is 56.25/100, which means that 9/16 as a percentage is 56.25%.
We can also work this out in a simpler way by first converting the fraction 9/16 to a decimal. To do that, we simply divide the numerator by the denominator:
916=0.5625
Once we have the answer to that division, we can multiply the answer by 100 to make it a percentage:
0.5625x100=56.25%
