It would be 20% if you take the 4 off and had the percentage sign then you would have 20%

Answer:

20%

Explanation:

  • We know that if the Denominator of a fraction is converted to 100 so the fraction becomes as much percent as numerator.

  • Denominator of the given fraction is 20 and multiplying it by 5 will produce 100. Means it's denominator would become 100.

  • So, let us multiply Numerator and Denominator of the given fraction by 5, we find:


  • (4)/(20)* (5)/(5)


  • =(4* 5)/(20* 5)


  • =(20)/(100)

  • = 20%
