Answer 1

7×100/40=17.5%......

Answer 2

7 m is 17.5% of 40 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the part value be 7 m and the total value be 100 m

Thus, by using the percentage formula we have:

$\text{ Percentage }=\frac{\text { Part value }}{\text { Total value }} \times 100 \%$

Substituting the given values in the above formula we have:

$\text{ Percentage }=\frac{7}{40} \times 100$

$\Rightarrow \text { Percentage }=0.175 \times 100$

Which results in:

17.5%

Thus, 7 m percent of 40 m is 17.5 %
