It is given that Sonia takes 4/5 mile walk everyday.

Consider 4/5 represent the 100%

so using the proportion we can determine which part of her walk she completed once she has walked 3/5 miles.

Find out what percentage represent 3/5

Let

x -----> the percentage that represent 3/5

Then convert to fraction number


((4)/(5))/(100)=((3)/(5))/(x)


(4)/(500)=(3)/(5x)


x=(3*500)/(20)=75

Therefore , the value of x in percentage is 75 percent.

Convert into fraction number.


(75)/(100)=(3)/(4)

Hence , she has completed 3/4 of her walk once she has walked 3/5 miles.
