You can divide 1 by 20 (1÷20) and get 0.05, then convert that to a percent. A percent means the number divided by 100, so to change a number to a percent, multiply by 100 and add the % sign.
0.05 = 5%
You can also make the fraction have a denominator of 100 since percent means the number over 100.
Multiply 1/20 by 5/5.
[tex] \frac{1}{20}* \frac{5}{5}= \frac{5}{100} [/tex].
5/100 is 5%
