16/60 as a percentage is 26.67%. This value comes from turning the fraction into a percent and rounding it to two decimal places. The fraction itself can be reduced to 4/15, but the percentage stays the same.
When you look at 26.67%, you see that just over a quarter of a whole is represented. It’s a handy way to compare parts of a whole without dealing with fractions directly, especially in everyday situations like discounts or statistics.
Remember that the percent sign (%) tells you “out of 100.” So 26.67% means 26.67 parts out of every 100 parts, which matches the original 16 out of 60 parts when you scale both numbers up to a common base. This makes it easy to understand and use in real‑world problems.
