The number 1. That means that if you multiply a number by 1, the number doesn't change - the result is the same as the original number.
Multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction you already have, both by the same number. The result will be a new fraction that's equivalent to the original one.
if you were to be asked to find 205% you divide the number by 100 then multiply by 205. alternatively multiply by 2.05 is the same thing
