Question

what is 12cm as a percentage of 2m

Answer 1

Answer:

12 cm is 6% of 2 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know 1 meter consists of 100 cm.

 Mathematically, 1 m = 100 cm

           ⇒ ( 1 / 100 ) m = 1 cm

Therefore,

   ⇒ 12 cm

   ⇒ 12 ( 1 / 100 ) m

   ⇒ ( 12 / 100 ) m

    % is given by ( suggested part of that quantity ) / quantity x 100 %

Here,

% = ( 12 / 100 ) / 2  x  100 %

% = ( 12 / 200 ) x 100 %

% = ( 12 / 2 ) %

% = 6 %

       Thus 12 cm is 6% of 2 m.
