$\frac{1}{5} = 20 %$ $1/5 = 20%$

A percent is a value given as a part of 100.

Change a fraction so the denominator is 100:

$\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{20}{20} = \frac{20}{100}$ $1/5 xx20/20 = 20/100$

$\frac{20}{20} = 1$ $20/20 = 1" "$ by multiplying by 1 we do not change the value $" "$ of the fraction, just what it looks like.

$\frac{20}{100}$ $20/100$ is the form we want. This is $20 %$ $20%$
