Answer 2

1

5

as a percent is  

20

%

.

Step-by-step explanation:Start by changing the fraction to a decimal by diving the numerator by the denominator (

1

divided by  

5

). That equals  

0.2

.

Change the decimal to a percent by multiplying it by  

100

%

, or moving the decimal two places. That gives you  

20

%

.

Another way of thinking about it is multiplying the numerator by  

100

%

, then dividing that by the denominator (

100

%

divided by  

5

). This gives you  

20

%
