$\frac{4}{5} = 80 %$ $4/5 = 80%$

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.

$\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{20}{20} = \frac{80}{100} = 80 %$ $4/5 xx 20/20 = 80/100 = 80%$
$x . \times ↑$ $color(white)(x.xx)uarr$
Multiplying by 1 does not change the value, just the form.

OR Change the fraction to a decimal

$\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{8}{10} = 0.8$ $4/5 xx2/2 = 8/10 = 0.8$

$0.8 = 0.80 = \frac{80}{100} = 80 %$ $0.8 = 0.80 = 80/100 = 80%$
$\times . \times ↑$ $color(white)(xx.xx)uarr$
2 decimal places indicates hundredths.
