Question

Namdev sowed jowar in 19,500 sqm of his total land of 3 hectares. In what percentage of his land did he sow jowar?

(1 hectare = 10,000 sqm)

Answer 1

Total land area = 3 hectares
1 hectare = 10,000 m²
∴ Total land area = (3 × 10,000) m² = 30,000 m²
Area of the land in which Namdev sowed jowar = 19,500 m²
To find the percentage it is expressed as $\frac{19500}{30000}$
To find the percentage of the land he sowed, we will use the fraction with denominator 100
Now, we will divide the numerator and denominator by 300
∴ $\frac{19500}{30000}=\frac{19500÷300}{30000÷300}=\frac{65}{100}$ = 65 %

Thus, Namdev sowed jowar in 65% of the land.
