Calculating the Percentage
To calculate 6 as a percentage of 9, we need to divide 6 by 9 and then convert the decimal answer into a percentage. We can do this by multiplying the decimal answer by 100.
Therefore, 6 divided by 9 is 0.66666667. Multiplying this answer by 100 gives us 66.666667%. This means that 6 is 66.666667% of 9.
It is also possible to calculate the percentage without doing any calculations. We can do this using our knowledge of basic percentages and fractions. We know that 10% is 1/10, so if we double 10%, it would be 2/10 or 20%. If we double 20%, it would be 40%. Doubling 40% would give us 80%, and doubling 80% would give us 160%. Therefore, if we complete the doubling sequence from 10%, it will eventually reach 160%.
Now, if we divide 160% into two equal parts, each part would be 80%, and if we divide 80% into two equal parts, each part would be 40%. If we divide 40% into two equal parts, each part would be 20%. Finally, if we divide 20% into two equal parts, each part would be 10%. Therefore, 6 as a percentage of 9 is equivalent to 10%, which is 1/10 or 0.1 multiplied by 100 which gives us an answer of 10%.
