Question

What percent of 4 is 3/5? Make sure your answer is fully reduced

Answer 1

15%

Explanation:

What is a percentage?

A percentage is a ratio, or a number expressed in the form of a fraction of 100. Percentages are often used to express a part of a total.

To solve this, we can use this equation:

• 4 × 0.15 = 0.6 or
  `(3)/(5)`

Why do we multiply by 0.15?

Well, if percentages are fractions of 100, we can convert 15% into
`(15)/(100)`, or 0.15.

Therefore,
`(3)/(5)` is 15% of 4
