Let's look at this example: Convert the ratio 1/5 to percent. This is the same as solving a proportion because: 1/5=x/100 So ask yourself, what times 5 equals 100. The answer is 20. So, now multiply 20 to the 1 in 1/5. This will leave you with x=20. Finally 20/100=20%! This could've been shown more clearer if you posted this here: quickanswerz.com
