Write the fraction as a percent.
6. 13%2F20.........you need just to divide nominator by denominator to find how many "hundreths" aree in there;the word percent means per 100.
13%2F20=0.65.........=> it is 65%2F100 or 65%

We can also write this relationship as a proportion:
13%2F20+=+x%2F100

To solve this, we could cross multiply
13%2A100+=+20%2Ax ……..divide both sides by 20 to find the unknown
%2813%2A100%29%2F20+=+x
13+%2A+5+=+x
x=65%
Check:
+13%2F20+=+65%2F100
0.65=0.65............which is 65%
