Answer:
Solve the problems. a) The number a is 4/5 of the number b. What part of number a is number b?
Explanation:
a) If a is 4/5 of b, then b is 5/4 of a.
To find what part of a is b, we divide b by a:
b/a = 5/4
This means that b is 5/4 times larger than a, or b is 125% of a.
To find what part of a is b, we subtract 1 from this fraction:
b/a - 1 = 5/4 - 1
b/a - 1 = 1/4
So, b is 1/4 of a, or b is 25% of a.
