Question

Percent equivalent to 1/40

Answer 1

A fraction is just division. We need to divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply it by 100.
1÷40
0.025×100
2.5
The percent equivalent of 1/40 is 2.5%.

Answer 2

Hello!

We need to get our number out of 100 to make it a percent. To get 40 to 100, you multiply by 5/2. 

This gives us 2.5%

I hope this helps!
