Question

Express the first quantity as a percent of the second :
$42$ seconds, $6$ minutes

Answer 1

Step : Expressing the first quantity as a percent of the second

Given,
$42$ seconds, $6$ minutes.

We know that $1min=60sec$

So, $6min=360sec$

$42$ seconds as a percent of $6$ minutes $=42$ seconds as a percent of $360$ sec

$=\frac{42}{360}\times 100\%$

$=\frac{420}{36}$

$=\frac{35}{3}=11\frac{2}{3}\%$

Hence, $42$ sec is $11\frac{2}{3}\%$ of $6$ minutes.
