The steps you followed to convert the fraction 1 1/5 to a percent (120%) are correct.
To convert a mixed number or fraction to a percent, you can follow these steps:
1. Convert the mixed number or fraction to a decimal. In this case, 1 1/5 can be written as 1 + 1/5, which equals 1.2 as a decimal.
2. Move the decimal point two places to the right. This is equivalent to multiplying the decimal by 100. For 1.2, moving the decimal two places to the right gives 120.
3. Add the percent symbol (%) to the resulting number. So, 120 becomes 120%.
Therefore, your final answer of 120% is correct. Well done!
