Fractions and percents are ways to show parts of a whole. We want to tell which number is greater.
16/25, 65 %
To do this, we will write a fraction as a percent. To write a fraction as a percent, we first find an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100.
16/25=x/100
We multiply 25 by 4 to get 100, so we will also multiply 16 by 4 to get an equivalent fraction.
We found that 1625 and 64100 are equivalent fractions. Now we can write the new fraction as a percent by looking at the numerator and adding a percent symbol.
16/25=64/100= 64 %
Since 65 is greater than 64, 65 % is greater than 64 %. This means that 65 % is greater than 1625.
