Question

What percent of 3/4 is 3/8?

Answer 1

$50 \% \text{ of } \frac{3}{4} \text{ is } \frac{3}{8}$

Solution:

Given that,

We have to find what percent of 3/4 is 3/8

Let "x" be the required percent

Then, from question, we can say,

$x \text{ percent of } \frac{3}{4} \text{ is } \frac{3}{8}$

We can solve the above expression for "x"

$\frac{x}{100} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{8}$

Move the variable x to one side of equation and move all the constants to other side of equation

$\\\\x = \frac{3}{8} \times 100 \times \frac{4}{3}\\\\x = 12.5 \times 4\\\\x = 50$

Thus 50 % of 3/4 is 3/8
