Part B: Match each fraction to its equivalent percent.
We'll evaluate each fraction and match it to the correct percent.
(i) $ \frac{1}{2} $
$$
\frac{1}{2} = 0.5 = 50\%
$$
✔ Matches with
50%
(ii) $ \frac{1}{4} $
$$
\frac{1}{4} = 0.25 = 25\%
$$
✔ Matches with
25%
(iii) $ \frac{3}{4} $
$$
\frac{3}{4} = 0.75 = 75\%
$$
✔ Matches with
75%
(iv) $ \frac{1}{5} $
$$
\frac{1}{5} = 0.2 = 20\%
$$
✔ Matches with
20%
So:
- $ \frac{1}{2} $ →
50%
- $ \frac{1}{4} $ →
25%
- $ \frac{3}{4} $ →
75%
- $ \frac{1}{5} $ →
20%
