The correct Answer is:
To express the given fractions as percentages, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the fraction to a percentage To convert a fraction to a percentage, we multiply the fraction by 100. ### Step 2: Solve for each fraction #### a. For the fraction \( \frac{3}{5} \): 1. Multiply by 100: \[ \frac{3}{5} \times 100 = \frac{3 \times 100}{5} = \frac{300}{5} = 60 \] So, \( \frac{3}{5} = 60\% \). #### b. For the fraction \( \frac{1}{12} \): 1. Multiply by 100: \[ \frac{1}{12} \times 100 = \frac{1 \times 100}{12} = \frac{100}{12} \] 2. Simplify \( \frac{100}{12} \): \[ \frac{100}{12} = \frac{25}{3} \approx 8.33 \] So, \( \frac{1}{12} \approx 8.33\% \). #### c. For the fraction \( \frac{3}{20} \): 1. Multiply by 100: \[ \frac{3}{20} \times 100 = \frac{3 \times 100}{20} = \frac{300}{20} = 15 \] So, \( \frac{3}{20} = 15\% \). #### d. For the fraction \( \frac{2}{3} \): 1. Multiply by 100: \[ \frac{2}{3} \times 100 = \frac{2 \times 100}{3} = \frac{200}{3} \] 2. Simplify \( \frac{200}{3} \): \[ \frac{200}{3} \approx 66.67 \] So, \( \frac{2}{3} \approx 66.67\% \). ### Final Answers: - \( \frac{3}{5} = 60\% \) - \( \frac{1}{12} \approx 8.33\% \) - \( \frac{3}{20} = 15\% \) - \( \frac{2}{3} \approx 66.67\% \) ---
