Answer 1

Answer:

C. 5 goes into 100 twenty times, and 1 times 20 is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, we know that when we multiply both numerator and denominator of a fraction by a same number then we obtain an equivalent fraction,

Here, the given fraction,

$\frac{1}{5}$

By the above statement,

$\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1\times 20}{5\times 20}=\frac{20}{100}$

Now,

$a\%=\frac{a}{100}$

$\implies \frac{20}{100}=20\%$

Hence,

$\frac{1}{5}=20\%$

Option C is correct.
