Question

Express 6cm as a percentage of 7.5m

Answer 1

0.8%

Explanation:

First, convert 7.5 m to cm.

There are 100 cm in one meter, so to convert this, multiply 7.5 by 100:

7.5(100)

= 750

So, there are 750 cm in 7.5 m.

To find the percent of 6 cm, divide 6 by 750, then multiply by 100:

(6/750) x 100

= 0.008 x 100

= 0.8

So, 6 cm as a percentage of 7.5 m is 0.8%
