Question

Which fraction is equivalent to 0.16? A. 1/16 B. 16/100 C. 1/6 D. 1/3

Answer 1

I'm assuming that this decimal terminates and none of the digits repeat forever.

The 1 is in the tenths decimal place
The 6 is in the hundredths decimal place

So put together 0.16 is spoken out as "16 hundredths" meaning we have the fraction 16/100

We simply write the numbers after the decimal "16" over the value 100

Another example is 0.37 = 37/100
