Answer 2

C. 5 goes into 100 twenty times, and 1 times 20 is 20

Explanation:

Since, we know that when we multiply both numerator and denominator of a fraction by a same number then we obtain an equivalent fraction,

Here, the given fraction,

`(1)/(5)`

By the above statement,

`(1)/(5)=(1* 20)/(5* 20)=(20)/(100)`

Now,

`a\%=(a)/(100)`

`\implies (20)/(100)=20\%`

Hence,

`(1)/(5)=20\%`

Option C is correct.
