Answer 1

Answer:  1

Explanation:

There are a few ways to do this. One way is to notice that the jump from 5 to 100 is "times 20" (go from right to left across the bottom denominators).

So we must do the same "times 20" type of jump when going across the numerators. If x is the numerator for the right hand side, then we go from x to 20. That must mean x = 1

Put another way, we could have these steps

20/100 = x/5

20*5 = 100*x ... cross multiplication

100 = 100x

100x = 100

x = 100/100 .... dividing both sides by 100

x = 1

We see that the fraction 20/100 reduces fully to 1/5

To go from 1/5 to 20/100, we multiply both parts by 20 (divide both parts by 20 to go in reverse).

Answer 2

$1. \frac{20}{100}$

$2. \frac{1}{5}$
