The decimal equivalent 1/5 is .2
Think of it like this.
If you multiply the denominator (5) by 2 and the Numerator by 2 (1) You will get 2/10and 2/10 would be 20

Hello.

A decmail that is 1/5 would be 0.2

You could get this becasue 1/5 would be 20%

And you could get 20% from 20 pair of 5's in 100 that will get 20/100

Have a nice day
