To get the right answer you must perform the same operation on both sides of the equation because the equation will not be correct if it is not. If you subtract something from one side to make it equal you must subtract it from both sides.

In order to keep the equation right, both sides have to balance each other. When you only perform an operation ( I'm assuming you're talking about division or multiplication) on one side, it messes up the balance because now one side is larger than the other.

Miguel reels his teacher that 1/5 is the same as 20% what best justifies Miguel’s answer
horrorfan [7]
If you do the proportion, you have to put 1/5 = 20/100. The 20 represents the percentage. Then you have to say to yourself that how many time 5 goes to 100, well its x20 then if we multiply 1 x 20 we'll get 20. So, he is correct, 1/5 = 20%. Remember what number we think of when we hear the word percent, the number is 100.
