Question

Select all of the expressions that are equivalent to 5% of 60.

Answer 1

1, 2, and 3

Explanation:

5% = 0.05 = 1/20

The first expression is equal, as 5% is equal to 1/20.

The second expression is equal, as 5% in decimal form is 0.05.

The third expression is equal, as 5% is 5/100 in fraction form, which can be simplified to 1/20.

The fourth expression is NOT equal, as it is 20%, not 5%. 1/5 = 0.2.

The fifth expression is NOT equal becauase 0.5 is one half (1/2), which is not equal to 0.05.
