It means: 1/2 times 1/5 times 20 = 2
7/10
It is: 1/10 of a 1/2 is 1/20
20/5=4 4 is one fifth of 20
Notice that -- one fifth of 20 pounds of topsoil is 4 pounds of topsoil, -- one fifth of 20 cows is 4 cows, -- one fifth of 20 miles of rope is 4 miles of rope, -- one fifth of 20 acres of land is 4 acres of land, -- one fifth of 20 bushels of tomatoes is 4 bushels of tomatoes, and -- one fifth of 20 dozen cookies is 4 dozen cookies. Once you notice this, and begin to pick up the pattern, you might be tempted to guess that one fifth of 20 percent is 4 percent. And you'd be correct.
It means: 1/2 times 1/5 times 20 = 2
No. Half of one tenth is 1/20. To get 1/5 take two 'one tenth's ie twice of one tenth is one fifth.
You recognise that 20% is one-fifth so you multiply 75 by 5...
7/10
Working backwards from 200 fifth of 200 = 40 half of 40 = 20 fourth of 20 = 5 The answer is 5
It is: 1/10 of a 1/2 is 1/20
20/5=4 4 is one fifth of 20
60 x 0.2 = 12 or, since we know 20% is equal to 1/5 12 is one fifth of 60
Notice that -- one fifth of 20 pounds of topsoil is 4 pounds of topsoil, -- one fifth of 20 cows is 4 cows, -- one fifth of 20 miles of rope is 4 miles of rope, -- one fifth of 20 acres of land is 4 acres of land, -- one fifth of 20 bushels of tomatoes is 4 bushels of tomatoes, and -- one fifth of 20 dozen cookies is 4 dozen cookies. Once you notice this, and begin to pick up the pattern, you might be tempted to guess that one fifth of 20 percent is 4 percent. And you'd be correct.
One fifth as a decimal is 0.20 One fifth as a percentage is 20%
multiply by 20. One fifth = 20 hundredths
one-fifth = .20
