80/100 divided by 20.
(80/20)/(100/20)= 4/5

Answer 2

Answer: 4/5

Explanation:

Step 1: Put the percent over 100

- 80/100

Simplify it by dividing both the numerator and denominator by a common factor, aka 10

- 80/10 - 8

100/10 - 10

- 8/10

Simplify it again by dividing both the numerator and denominator by a second common factor, aka 2

= 8/2 - 4

10/2 - 5

- 4/5

Cannot be simplified any further.
