Question

Choose a value that breaks this number 20 into 4 equal pieces
1. 20%
2. 25%
3. 1/2

Answer 1

To break the number 20 into 4 equal pieces, you would divide it by 4:

\[
20 \div 4 = 5
\]

Now, let's analyze the options given:

1. **20%** of 20 is \( 0.2 \times 20 = 4 \)
2. **25%** of 20 is \( 0.25 \times 20 = 5 \)
3. **1/2** of 20 is \( \frac{1}{2} \times 20 = 10 \)

The correct answer to break 20 into 4 equal pieces, which means each piece should equal 5, is:

2. **25%** is the correct choice since it represents 5, which is one-fourth of 20.
