Question

5 ft is ____ % of 37 1 2 ft; 37 1 2 ft is ____ % of 5 ft

Answer 1

5 ft is 13.33% of
`37(1)/(2)` ft. and
`37(1)/(2)` ft. is 750% of 5 ft.

Explanation:

Let x% of
`37(1)/(2)` ft is 5 ft.

So,
`((x)/(100)) * (37(1)/(2)) = 5`

⇒
`(x)/(100) * (75)/(2) = 5`

⇒
`x = (5 * 2 * 100)/(75) = 13.33\%` (Answer)

Again, let us assume that y% of 5 ft. is
`37(1)/(2)` ft.

So,
`(5)* (y)/(100) = 37(1)/(2) = (75)/(2)`

⇒
`y = 20 * (75)/(2) = 750\%` (Answer)
