Question

What percent of 3/4 is 3/8?

Answer 1

`50 \% \text{ of } (3)/(4) \text{ is } (3)/(8)`

Solution:

Given that,

We have to find what percent of 3/4 is 3/8

Let "x" be the required percent

Then, from question, we can say,

`x \text{ percent of } (3)/(4) \text{ is } (3)/(8)`

We can solve the above expression for "x"

`(x)/(100) * (3)/(4) = (3)/(8)`

Move the variable x to one side of equation and move all the constants to other side of equation

`\\\\x = (3)/(8) * 100 * (4)/(3)\\\\x = 12.5 * 4\\\\x = 50`

Thus 50 % of 3/4 is 3/8
