Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

25% is equal to 1/4

Lets think of this as money

If we take .25 and multiply it by 4 we get 100 or 1.00

Lets take 5/20

5/20 is also equal to 25%

For this one, let's change the fraction to an equivalent fraction. To do this I'm going to multiply both the top and bottom by 5.

5*5/20*5

That gets us 25/100

Back to thinking money-- we know that 25/100 is equal to 25%

25/100

We just determined that 25/100 is 25% using the problem above.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The odd one out-- 2/5

2/5 is equal to 40%

If we think of this fraction as money and we get an equivalent fraction-- 40/100

We can clearly see that that is not 25/100, 1/4, 5/20, or even 25%

Hence making it not equivalent to 25%
