Question

What percent of 2/3 is 1/3

Answer 1

Given:

`x\text{ \% of }(2)/(3)=(1)/(3)`

Hence,

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(100)*(2)/(3)=(1)/(3) \\ (2x)/(300)=(1)/(3) \\ Cross\text{ multiplying;} \\ 3*2x=1*300 \\ 6x=300 \\ Dividing\text{ both sidea by 6;} \\ x=(300)/(6) \\ x=50\text{ \%} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, 50 percent of 2/3 is 1/3.
