Answer 1

2/5th of a number is 40% of that number.

Step-by-step explanation:

We here are asked to find the % of a number which will be equal to 2/5 th of that number i.e., we will basically have to convert the fraction $\frac{2}{5}$ into a percentage form which is as follows,

= $\frac{2}{5}$ * 100  

= 0.4 * 100

= 40%

We will now verify the above procedure by taking an example:

Take the number as 50.

Firstly, 2/5th of 50 = 2/5 * 50 = 20

Secondly, 40% of 50 = 40/100 * 50 = 0.4 * 50 = 20

We can see that both the results are equal.

Thus, 2/5th of a number is 40% of that number.
