Question

A is what percent of b a= 2 ft b= 1 yd

Answer 1

Answer:

$66\frac{2}{3}\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

$1\ yd=3\ ft$

we have

$a=2\ ft\\b=1\ yd=1(3)=3\ ft$

In this problem

b represent the 100%

so

using proportion

Find out what percent of b represent a

Let

x -----> the percentage of b

$\frac{3}{100}=\frac{2}{x}\\\\x=100(2)/3\\\\x=\frac{200}{3}\%$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{200}{3}\%=\frac{198}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=66\frac{2}{3}\%$
