Answer 2

The equivalent percent for 2/4 is 50%

Solution:

Need to determine equivalent percentage of
`(2)/(4)`

To convert the fraction into percentage multiply it by 100 and solve it

`(2)/(4) * 100=(200)/(4)=50 \%`

Other way is finding an equivalent rational number of given fraction such that denominator becomes 100, then numerator of equivalent number gives percentage.

In our case, on multiplying numerator and denominator by 25 we get,

`(2 * 25)/(4 * 25)=(50)/(100)=50 \%`

Any method can be used as per our convenience.

Hence equivalent percentage of 2/4 is 50%.
