Question

What percent is 70cm of 35m

Answer 1

$\frac{70}{3500} \times 100 \\ \\ \frac{7}{350} \times 100 \\ \\ \frac{100}{50} \\ = 2 \: percent$

Answer 2

70 cm of 35m is 2%

First of all we need to convert both the units of length to the same unit.

As 1m = 100cm,

So, 35m = 3500cm.

The other value of length is 70 cm.

Now we need to find the percentage that 70 cm is of 3500 cm (35 m).

As we know, the percentage representation that 'a' of 'b' is

= [(a/b)*100]%

Similarly, for the question, it would be

= [(70/3500)*100]%

= 2%
