Question

Find the percent the first number is of the second: 5 ft, 37.5 ft

Answer 1

13.33

Explanation:

We know that 37.5/5 is 7.5, so we need to do 100/7.5, which is 13.33.

If this is for RSM, you would only need to enter 13.33, not a bunch of 3's, because we know the .33 would probably go on forever.

Answer 2

13.33333%

Explanation:

If we want what percent 5 feet is of37.5 feet, we take 5 feet/37.5 feet to get .1333333 feet.

Then take .1333333 and multiply it by 100 to get 13.33333%

We can test that by doing 13.33333% of 37.5 (or .1333333 x 37.5) and we get 5 feet.

Hope that helps.
