Well, percent (%) means per hundred, and your number is 6. Therefore, you have 6 per hundred, or 6/100. Also, when you have a percent and want to convert it into a fraction, you must divide the percent by 100, so you could just put the six over 100 since the line between the numerator and denominator basically means division.
