Question

What is 1/5 as a percentage and decimal?

Answer 1

20% and 0.20

Explanation:

Let's say 5/5 = 100, so then in order to convert 1/5 into a percentage, all you have to do is divide 100 by 5, and that will be your percentage:

100 / 5 = 20

So, 1/5 = 20%

Now, as a decimal its basically the same thing, but instead of thinking of it as 100, you think of it as 1.00, and then your decimal form of 1/5 will be 0.20

Hope this helps :)
