Answer 2

Fraction in lowest terms: 2/5

Percent: 40 %

Explanation:

If you have 20 coins in a bag and you are trying to find the probability of a dime being pulled out of a bag then you would look at how many dimes there are in the bag (8) and put that over 20 because you have 8 chances to pull a dime out of the bag but with 20 coins in the bag overall.

To find the percentage you do 8÷20 which gives you the decimal 0.4

0.4 as a percentage is 40%
