Question

80% is equivalent to what fraction in reduced terms

Answer 1

The correct answer is 4/5.

Explanation:

100% - 80% = 20%

This is 1/5. 100 ÷ 20 = 5

So, 20 x 4 = 80 ÷ 20 = 4

Remember, each 20%, that is 1/5. So, 4 x 1/5 = 4/5.

80% = 4/5

Answer 2

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

4/5

Discussion:

80% = => percent means "per 100"

80/100= => 80 = 8 * 10; 100 = 10 * 10

(8*10)/(10*10) = => cancel 10 from numerator and denominator

8/10 = => divide numerator and denominator by 2

4/5

Thank you,
