Answer:
Yes, [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] times of a number always represent 40% of that number.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a number be x.
Calculate [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] times of the number .
[tex]\frac{2}{5}\times x= \frac{2}{5}x[/tex]
Now calculate 40% of the number.
[tex]x\times\frac{40}{100}=\frac{40}{100}x= \frac{2}{5}x[/tex]
Since [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] times of a number and 40% of that number are equal, therefore we can say that [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] times of a number always represent 40% of that number.
