Answer: Hello, there!

Your Answer is Below

5%

Now we can see that our fraction is 65/100, which means that 13/20 as a percentage is 65%.

Explanation:

When we are using percentages, what we are really saying is that the percentage is a fraction of 100. "Percent" means per hundred, and so 50% is the same as saying 50/100 or 5/10 in fraction form.

So, since our denominator in 13/20 is 20, we could adjust the fraction to make the denominator 100. To do that, we divide 100 by the denominator:

100 ÷ 20 = 5

Once we have that, we can multiple both the numerator and denominator by this multiple:

13 x 5

20 x 5

= 65/100\

Hope this Helps!

Have a great Day!
