Question

percent of the second:
iii $42\text{seconds, 6 minutes}$

Answer 1

Step : Expressing the first quantity as a
percent of the second
Given, $42\text{seconds, 6 minutes}$.
We know that $1\text{min = 60 sec}$
So, $6\text{min = 360 sec}$
$42$ seconds as a percent of $6\text{minutes = 42 seconds}$
as a percent of $360$ sec
$=\frac{42}{360}\times 100\%$
$=\frac{420}{36}$
$=\frac{35}{3}=11\frac{2}{3}\%$
Hence, $42\text{sec is}11\frac{2}{3}\%\text{of}6\text{minutes.}$
