Answer: No
Step-by-step explanation: To find out if 2/10 and 210% represent the same amount, let's convert 2/10 into a percent.
To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. So to write 2/10 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 2/10 that has a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.
[tex]So[/tex] [tex]we[/tex] [tex]have[/tex] [tex]\frac{2}{10} = \frac{n}{100}[/tex]
Now, we can use cross products to find the missing value.
So we have 2 x 100 which is 200 is equal to 10 x n or 10n.
So we have 200 = 10n.
Next, dividing both sides of the equation by 10, we have 20 = n
So 2/10 is equal 20/100 or 20%
Now, since 20% is not equal to 210%,
the answer to this question would be false.
Therefore 2/10 and 210% do not represent the same amount.
