Time units

a)

We must recall 1 Millenium is equivalent to 1000 years

Thus, 20% of a Millenium is

20% of 1000 years

= 20 * 1000 / 100 = 200 years

b)

A century and a half.

Recall 1 century has 100 years

Thus, 1 century and a half is

100 years + 1/2 100 years

= 100 years + 50 years

= 150 years

Thus, the first option is more time than the second

Answer: 20% of a millenium
