Question

What is the correct way to write this fraction as a percent? A. 20% B. 25% C. 40% D. 70%

Answer 1

20% as a fraction is 1/5

25% is 1/4

40% is 2/5

and 70% is 7/10

Depending on what your fraction is, you can find the answer in the fraction itself-

20%, you can take 20, 5 times to get to 100. Hence 1/5.

25 can go into 100 4 times (1/4)

40 is just 20 twice, so its 2/5.

Take 10 7 times and get 7/10.

Hope this helps a bit :)
