Hello!

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

❖ 20% as as a fraction in lowest terms is $\frac{1}{5}$

Percents are out of 100% so write 20% out of 100% as a fraction:

$\frac{20}{100}$

Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 20 so once divided, you get $\frac{1}{5}$

Hey there!

The answer to your question is, yes, it is

Given:

$\frac{8}{5}$ $and$ $\frac{24}{15}$

To see if they are equal, we can use cross products (see below for information about this, if you don't know what it is). Let us assume they are equal. This would mean that:

$8*15=24*5$

Let's solve it and see if it is true:

$8*15=24*5$

$120=120$

Therefore, they are proportional.
