Best Answer

Put 10 apples on the table or 10 of any one kind of object. Take one of the apples or objects and hold it in your hand. You are holding one tenth of the total number. Divide anything, a large collection of objects or a substance like water, into 10 equal parts. One of those parts is one tenth of the whole. This would also be called 10%. If you take two of those parts, you have two tenths, and that is equal to one fifth, or 20%.
