Question 253848: whats 2/5 as a percent?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
write 2/5 as a decimal, then multiply it by 100 to make it a percent.
2/5 is the same as 4/10. 4/10 tells you that there are 4 tenths or that 4 goes in the tenths place of a number. The tenths place is the location just right of a decimal, so 4/10 can be written as .4
Then multiply it by 100 and add your percent sign.
