Question

What is `1 2/3` written as a decimal and a percent?

Answer 1

We can indicate this as `1.dot6 or 166 2/3%`

Explanation:

FIRST `1 2/3` can be written as `5/3`

This is how you can write it if you want it to come to a stop `1.6666666666666666666666666666667`

but it does actually keep recurring to infinity.

We can indicate this as `1.dot6`

SO now you want it to be expressed as a %.

Basically you can call it `166.7`% (it is actually

`166.66666666666666666666666666667%)` but it would go on for ever.

A more accurate way of giving the percent is as `166 2/3%`

This has not been rounded and is an exact amount.
