Answer:

The answer would be 5/100 or 1/20 in it's simplest form

Explanation:

So let's say you have only 5% of a pie and the rest of your family gets the rest, if you put that in a form of a fraction, the answer would be 5 over 100 (5/100). But if you simplify, the answer would be 1/20 since 5 goes into 5 once and 20 goes into 100 5 times.

Ignore the messy writing, i was in a hurry.
