The question is asking us to find the decimal equivalent of [tex]6\frac{7}{9}.[/tex]%

Percent means out of 100.

[tex]6\frac{7}{9}=\frac{61}{9}.[/tex]=6.77777.

6.777%= 6.777÷100

=0.068.(Rounded to nearest thousandths)

Option B is the right answer.

Answer:

b. 0.068

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a percent value [tex]6\frac{7}{9}\%[/tex] and we are asked to find the decimal equivalent to our given percentage.

First of all we will convert our given mixed fraction into improper fraction.

[tex]6\frac{7}{9}\%=\frac{6\cdot 9+7}{9}\%=\frac{54+7}{9}\%=\frac{61}{9}\%[/tex]

Since we know that to convert a percent to decimal we divide the number by 100.

[tex]\text{Decimal equivalent to 6}\frac{7}{9}\%=\frac{61}{\frac{9}{100}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Decimal equivalent to 6}\frac{7}{9}\%=\frac{61*1}{9*100}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Decimal equivalent to 6}\frac{7}{9}\%=\frac{61}{900}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Decimal equivalent to 6}\frac{7}{9}\%=0.0677777777[/tex]  

Upon rounding our answer to nearest thousandth we will get,

[tex]\text{Decimal equivalent to 6}\frac{7}{9}\%=0.068[/tex]

Therefore, the decimal equivalent to [tex]6\frac{7}{9}\%[/tex] is 0.068 and option 'b' is the correct choice.
