Answer 1

Answer:

3 inches is 25 percent of a foot

4 inches is 33.33 percent of a foot

6 inches is 50 percent of a foot

9 inches is 75 percent of a foot

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to do to solve this problem is to convert our measurements in feet to inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

we can now find our percentage with ease since we are now making comparisons, using the same unit of measurement as a reference.

To get the percentage of which 3 is of 12, we simply perform the following operation: We divide 3 by 12 then multiply it by a hundred percent.

(3/12) X 100 = 25 percent.

3 inches is 25 percent of a foot

Similarly,

4 inches = (4/12) X 100 = 33.33 percent of a foot

6 inches =(6/12) X 100 = 50 percent of a foot

9 inches = (9/12) X 100 = 75 percent of a foot
