To convert \( \frac{18}{27} \) to a percentage, follow these steps:
1. **Divide 18 by 27:**
\[
\frac{18}{27} = 0.6667 \quad (\text{rounded to 4 decimal places})
\]
2. **Convert the decimal to a percentage:**
\[
0.6667 \times 100 = 66.67\%
\]
So, \( 18 \) out of \( 27 \) as a percentage is \( 66.67\% \).
To express this as a mixed number percentage, note that \( 66.67\% \) is nearly \( 66\% \) plus a fraction. Converting \( 0.67\% \) to a fraction:
- \( 0.67\% \) is \( \frac{67}{100} \% \).
This fraction is still accurate for a percentage representation. Therefore, the exact mixed number percentage would require a more complex representation, but for simplicity:
The percentage \( 66.67\% \) can be thought of as approximating:
\[ 66\% + \frac{2}{3}\% \]
However, in most practical contexts, \( 66\frac{2}{3}\% \) is more informally or contextually closer to \( 66.67\% \).
Thus, \( 18/27 \approx 66.67\% \), with the mixed number representation introduced for completeness.
