Explanation:

Step1: Convert percent to fraction

A percent is a fraction out of 100, so $16\% = \frac{16}{100}$. Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (4):
$\frac{16 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{4}{25}$

Step2: Convert percent to decimal

Divide the percent value by 100 (move decimal left 2 places):
$16\% = \frac{16}{100} = 0.16$

Step3: Write percent in words

16% translates to "sixteen hundredths" (since it is 16 out of 100).

Answer:

Fraction: $\frac{4}{25}$
