Answer 2

The required percentage is "25 percent (%)".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

40 seconds of 2 min 40 seconds​

To find, the percentage of 40 seconds of 2 min 40 seconds​ = ?

We know that,

1 Minute = 60 seconds

∴ 2 min 40 seconds​

= 2 × 60 seconds​ + 40 seconds​

= 120 seconds​ + 40 seconds​

= 160 seconds​

∴ The percentage of 40 seconds of 2 min 40 seconds​

= $\dfrac{40}{160} \times 100$

= $\dfrac{1}{4} \times 100$

= 25 %

Thus, the required percentage is "25 percent (%)".
