Answer:
280 ml as a percentage of 140 l is 0.2%
Explanation:
- Note that 1 liter = 1000 milliliters
- To find a percentage of a number divide the number by the total and multiply the quotient by 100%
∵ There is an amount of 280 ml
∵ The total amount is 140 l
→ Change the liter to milliliters using the 1st point above
∴ 140 l = 140 × 1000 = 140000 ml
∴ 140 l = 140,000 ml
→ Now divide the amount by the total, then multiply the quotient by 100%
∵ 280 ÷ 140,000 =
∵
× 100% = 0.2%
∴ 280 ml as a percentage of 140 l is 0.2%
