Mathematics

Answer: 40%

Step-by-step explanation: To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. If we want to write 2/5 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 2/5 with a 100 in the  denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

\frac{2}{5} = \frac{n}{100}

Now, we can use cross products to find the missing value.

200 = 5n

÷5      ÷5   ← divide both sides by 5

 40 = n

Therefore, 2/5 is equivalent to 40%.

2/5
Multiply 5 by 20 because you need to get to 100, once you do that you get 100, then you have to multiply 2 by 20 because if you do something to the denominator you have to do it to the numerator, and you get 40. So you get 40/100 that would be a 40%.

Hope this helps!
