Hey there!

• In order to convert a fraction into a decimal you divide the numerator (the number at the TOP) from the denominator (the number at the BOTTOM)

17/20

= 17 ÷ 20

= 0.85

= 85%

The decimal that is equivalent to 17/20 is: 0.85

Answer: 0.85

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
