Question

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

Answer 1

The answer is:

5 ft is 13.33% of 37 1/2 ft; 37 1/2 ft is 750% of 5 ft.

Explanation:

Given:

5 ft is ____ % of 37 1 2 ft.

Now, to find the __ :

Let __ be
`x.`

So, 5 ft is
`x\%` of 37 1/2

`5=x\% of 37(1)/(2)`

⇒
`5=(x)/(100) * (75)/(2)`

⇒
`5=(75x)/(200)`

Multiplying both sides by 200 we get:

⇒
`1000=75x`

Dividing both sides by 75 we get:

⇒
`13.33=x`

⇒
`x=13.33\%.`

Now, 37 1/2 ft is
`x`% of 5 ft.

`(75)/(2) =x\%\ of\ 5`

`(75)/(2)=(x)/(100)* 5`

`(75)/(2) =(5x)/(100)`

Multiplying both sides by 100 we get:

`(7500)/(2) =5x`

Dividing both sides by 5 we get:

`750=x`

`x=750\%`

Therefore, the answer is 5 ft is 13.33% of 37 1/2 ft; 37 1/2 ft is 750% of 5 ft.
