The fraction 16/89 expressed as a percentage is 17.98%. This rounded figure gives a quick sense of the size of the fraction in everyday terms.
When you look at 16 out of 89 parts, you are dealing with a small portion—just under one‑fifth of the whole. The numerator (16) is much smaller than the denominator (89), which is why the percentage stays below 20%.
In many real‑world situations, such as calculating interest rates or statistics, using the percentage makes the number easier to compare with other values. The rounded 17.98% is precise enough for most practical purposes without getting tangled in long decimal strings.
Remember that rounding to two decimal places keeps the figure tidy while still reflecting the true size of the fraction fairly accurately.
