Question

Express 20cm as a percentage of 3m. give your answer as a mixed number

Answer 1

Answer:

$6\frac{2}{3}$ %

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert 3 meters into centimeters.

1m = 100cm

3m = 100 × 3 = 300cm

Now, form the fraction by putting the given value, 20cm, over the total measurement, 300cm.

$\frac{20}{300}$ = $\frac{2}{30}$ = $\frac{1}{15}$  ⇒ Simplify your fraction to its simplest terms.

Next, multiply your simplified fraction by 100 to get your percentage.

$\frac{1}{15}$ × $100$ = $\frac{100}{15}$ = $6\frac{10}{15}$ = $6\frac{2}{3}$ %   ⇒ Simplify your percentage to its simplest terms.
