I assume you mean 1/5?
If so, the easiest way to convert 1/5 to a percent is to always remember that EVERY digit in our number system represents a power of ten...
So if you were to divide 10 by 5 you would get 2, right?
BUT
You're not dividing 10 by 5... you're dividing 1 by 5 (that's what 1 over 5 or 1/5 means).
So... instead of giving you an answer in front of the decimal point, the answer will be behind the decimal point - like this:
10 / 5 = 2.0
1 / 5 = 0.2
Guess what 1/50 would equal?
1 / 50 = 0.02
A percentage is a sliding scale between nothing (0%) and 1 whole (100%).
So that means 1 = 100% and anything to the right of the decimal place is less than 100%.
So...
1.00 = 100%
0.50 = 50%
0.20 = 20%
0.02 = 2%
You originally asked what 1/5 was as a percentage... it's 1/5 = 0.2 = 20%.
See what I mean? Isn't maths fun? ^^
