To turn a percent into a decimal, you drop the percent sign and move the decimal place two places to the left.

So, 16% becomes .16

.16 is 16 hundredths

You can write that as a fraction by placing 16 in the numerator (top) and 100 in the denominator (bottom) and you will have the fraction 16/100

Now, 16/100 is a fraction, however it can be reduced.

16/100 is the same as 8/50 which is the same as 4/25

4/25 is 16% expressed as a fraction in its reduced form.
