Question

Convert into fraction in the lowest term:
ii) $20\%$

Answer 1

Step : Expressing the given percentage as fraction in its lowest term
Given, $20\%$

[Remove the sign of percentage and at the same
time divide by 100. Then reduce the resulting
fraction obtained to its lowest term.]
$\therefore 20\%=\frac{20}{100}$
$20\%=\frac{1}{5}$
Hence, $20\%$ is $\frac{1}{5}$.
