Question

How do you write 4/5 in percentage?

Answer 1

`4/5 = 80%`

Explanation:

The simplest and quickest way to change a fraction into a percentage is to make the denominator into 100 if it is possible.

By definition you will have a percent.

`4/5 xx 20/20 = 80/100 = 80%`
`color(white)(x.xx)uarr`
Multiplying by 1 does not change the value, just the form.

OR Change the fraction to a decimal

`4/5 xx2/2 = 8/10 = 0.8`

`0.8 = 0.80 = 80/100 = 80%`
`color(white)(xx.xx)uarr`
2 decimal places indicates hundredths.
