Answer 1

Solving this problem requires converting percents to fractions

91 &2/3% can be written as 91.66%

We can start by converting the percent to a decimal

10% is equal to .10 the is done by diving the percentage by 100. Also .10 is equal to ten hundredths.

If we apply this to your problem we see:

91 &2/3% = 91.66 --> 91.66/100 = .9166

The last digit (6) is in the ten thousandths place so .9166 is equivalent to 9166/10000
