Yes, C.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
Is the answer C?
To find the equivalent percentage of 2/3, we can use proportions. Let's set up the equation:
1/3 as a percentage = 33 and 1/3%
2/3 as a percentage = ?
To solve for the percentage equivalent of 2/3, we can set up the following proportion:
(1/3)/(33 and 1/3%) = (2/3)/x
Cross multiplying the equation, we get:
(1/3) * x = (2/3) * (33 and 1/3%)
Now, let's simplify the equation.
x/3 = (2/3) * (100/3)
x/3 = 200/9
To find x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
x = (200/9) * 3
x ≈ 200/3 ≈ 66 and 2/3
So, the equivalent percentage of 2/3 is approximately 66 and 2/3%.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 66 and 2/3%.
