English term or phrase: 20/30%
It is possible to adjust the pumps individually
in a scale 1-100%. The standard adjustment
is 20/30%, which is corresponding to about 6
l/min.

Merry Christmas!

I need to translate it into Chinese, but there is no such a punctuation as "/". I want to know whether here "20/30%" means "20 % or 30%" or ""20 to 30%".

Thank you in advance!
