Question

If I have a probability of 2/5, what is the percentage of probability.

A. 52%

B. 40%

C. 2.5%

D. 80%

Answer 1

B 40
2 divide by 5= 0.4 which equals to 40%

Answer 2

Answer: 40%

Step-by-step explanation: To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100.

So to write 2/5 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 2/5 that has a 100 in the denominator.

We can do this by setting up a proportion.

`So`
`we`
`have`
`(2)/(5) = (n)/(100)`.

Now, we can use cross-products to find the missing value.

So we have (2)(100) which is 200 is equal to (5)(n) or 5n.

So we have 200 = 5n.

Next, dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we have 40 = n.

So 2/5 is equal to 40/100 or 40%.
