$66 2/3% = 2/3$

I suspect that the question that was intended is: What is $66 2/3%$ as a fraction in simplest terms.

$66 2/3$ is already a fraction on simplest terms, so nothing can be done.

However, $66 2/3%$ means $(66 2/3)/100$

This can be simplified by dividing by $(33 1/3)/(33 1/3)$

$(66 2/3)/100 div (33 1/3)/(33 1/3) = 2/3$

As a decimal: $2/3 = 0.66666666.... = 66.66666...%$

The recurring decimal $0.66666..$ can be written as $2/3$
