80% of number=20
divide both sides by 4
20% of number=5
times 5 both sides
100% of number=25

the number is 25

Convert .12 to a fraction and reduce it to lowest terms
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

3/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator

0.12=0.121

Multiply to remove 2 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 10^2 = 100

0.12/1×100/100=12/100

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 12 and 100, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 4,

12÷4/100÷4 = 3/25

Therefore

0.12 = 3/25
