37 mm as a percentage of 148 cm.
Answers
Answer:
We assume, that the number 148 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 148, so we can write it down as 100%=148.
4. We know, that x% equals 37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=148
2) x%=37
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=148/37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 37 is what percent of 148
100%/x%=148/37
(100/x)*x=(148/37)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
100/4=x
25=x
x=25
Let the percentage be x
x/100*148=0.37
x=37/148
x=0.25
