Express 99 2/3% as a fraction? No calculator My 9-year-old daughter is stuck on this question and normally I can help her, but I am also stuck on this! I have looked everywhere to find out how to do this but to no avail so any help/guidance is appreciated:
The possible answers are: 
$1 \frac{29}{300}$
$\frac{269}{300}$ 
$9 \frac{29}{30}$ 
$\frac{299}{300}$
$1 \frac{299}{300}$
Whenever I try this I am doing $\frac{99.66} \times 100$ is $\frac{9966}{10000}$ and then simplify down, but I am not getting the answer. I get $\frac{4983}{5000}$? Then I can't simplify more — unless I am doing this totally wrong?

Hello All - just an update - I managed to teach this to her right now, and she cracked it pretty much the first time! Thanks sooooooo much for the answers and here is some of the working she did:


$99 \frac{2}{3} \% = 99 \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{100} = \frac{299}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{100} = \frac{299}{300}$.
