These types of questions were always the most fun in early mathematics. Remember the clock? It's broken not only into hours but minutes as well.
Imagine that there are 60 seconds in one minute. So we know that an entire 60 seconds is 100% of a minute we can work back from there.
How many 20% would you need in order to make 100%? You would need 5 (5 x 20 = 100).
/ = per (60 seconds per 1 minute)
60 seconds/1 minute ÷ 5 periods/1 minute = 12 seconds/period
So 12 seconds would be exactly 20% of one minute.
- 12 seconds (20%)
- 24 seconds (40%)
- 36 seconds (60%)
- 48 seconds (80%)
- 60 seconds (100%)

What percent of one minute is 20 seconds?
There are 60 seconds in one minute. Therefore, 20 seconds is equal to 20/60 x 100 = 33.3 recurring (that is, 33.3333..) percent.
Is 20 percent the same as one twentieth?
No. 1/20 is the same as 5%, not 20%. Percent means hundredths, so 20% is the same as 20/100, which simplifies to 1/5.
What is 12 percent plus 20 percent?
12 percent plus 20 percent equals 32 percent. To add one percentage to another simply add the numbers together and keep the percentage sign.
What is 20 percent as a fraction?
Expressed as a fraction, 20 percent is equal to 1/5 or one fifth.20% = 20/100 = 2/10 = 1/520/100 is 20 percent and that simplified is 1/520% = 20/100 which reduces to 1/5.
What is one fifth in percentage?
20 percent Solution Method: 1/5 * 100 = 100 / 5 = 20 % or 20 percent (both represent the same thing) Another Method: 1/5 = .20 .20 * 100 = 20 % or 20 percent (both represent the same thing)
