Answer
$\frac{5}{6}=.833=83.3$%
Work Step by Step
We are given the fraction $\frac{5}{6}$.
We know that $\frac{5}{6}=5\div6\approx.833$
To write $\frac{5}{6}$ as a percentage, we can set $\frac{5}{6}$ equal to $\frac{p}{100}$ (where p is the percentage representation of the given fraction) and take the cross products to solve for p.
$\frac{5}{6}=\frac{p}{100}$
$5\times100=6\times p$
$500=6p$
Divide both sides by 6.
$p=83.3$%
Therefore, $\frac{5}{6}=.833=83.3$%.
