To divide a circle into fifths, you would start by drawing a horizontal line through the center of the circle to create two equal halves. Then, draw another line perpendicular to the first line to divide the circle into quarters. Next, draw a line at a 72-degree angle from the horizontal line to create one-fifth of the circle. Repeat this step four more times, each time rotating the angle by 72 degrees to divide the circle into fifths.
To convert a fraction to a percentage, do the division, and multiply by hundred - in this case, (3 / 5) x 100.
Circles were drawn by ancient peoples before writing was developed. No one "invented" or "made" the circle from that perspective.
1 = 5 fifths 2 = 10 fifths 3 = 15 fifths 4 = 20 fifths
