Answer:

1/5

Explanation:

Lets start with the number 100. We know that 1/10 of 100 is 10! 1/10 can also be written as 10%.

Now lets think about it, We're looking for 20%. If 1/10 of 100 is 10%, then 2/10 of 100 is 20%!

So you've got the fraction 2/10! Now you need to simplify it :)

Both the numerator (2) and the denominator (10) can be divided by 2!

(2/2)=1

(10/2)=5

Therefore, after simplifying 2/10 your final answer should be 1/5!
