We will multiply 3/20 by 5/5 because 20•5=100 and percents are fractions over a hundred. But, since we multiplied 5 by 20, we need to do the same to the numerator, 3. 3•5=15. Our new fraction is 15/100. When we have a numerator, in this case 15, over the denominator 100, our numerator would be the percent. So, 3/20 as a percent is 15%

Ok so the first thing you need to do is convert the fraction to hundreds. Since 20 goes into 100 5 times, we are going to multiply the fraction by 5/5.

(3/20)x(5/5)= 15/100

15/100 is the same as 15 percent

ANSWER: (3/20)= 15 percent

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions about what I did!
