Explanation:

Hi,

Think about it this way.

20%

40%

60%

80%

100%

We had to add 20% 5 times in order to get 100%.

The same goes for the fraction.

1/5

2/5

3/5

4/5

5/5

We had to add 1/5 5 times to get it to 5/5.

So...

20% is the same thing as... 20/100 and simplified, it's the exact same thing as 1/5.

They're basically the same exact thing except they're written in different ways.

I hope this helps, I didn't really understand what you needed exactly, but if you need anything else, feel free to let me know :)

Have a wonderful day.
