Question

2. Which fraction is not equivalent to 25%?

(EXPLAIN WHY)
1/4
2/5
5/20
25/100

Answer 1

Answer:
`2/5` second option

Step-by-step explanation: 1/4 is equal to 25% because if you multiply by 100 and divide by 4 that will equal 25. 5/20 simplified to 1/4 which we know is 25%, 25/100 also does too. Therefore, the answer is 2/5 because it simplifies to 40% which isn't 25%.

Answer 2

The fraction that is not equivalent to 25% is 2/5.

To see why, we can start by converting 25% to a fraction. Recall that "percent" means "per hundred," so 25% is equal to 25/100 or 1/4.

Now, we can check each of the answer choices to see if they are equivalent to 1/4:

1/4 is already in the form of 1/4, so it is equivalent to 25%.

5/20 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5, which gives 1/4. So 5/20 is also equivalent to 25%.

25/100 is the same as 1/4 (we converted 25% to 1/4 earlier), so it is equivalent to 25%.

This leaves us with 2/5 as the answer choice that is not equivalent to 25%. We can see this by converting 2/5 to a percent:

2/5 = 0.4

0.4 x 100% = 40%

So 2/5 is equivalent to 40%, which is not the same as 25%.
