Question

What % could i make 2/5 of a hour? like 10% of a hour. like that.

Answer 1

well, we can say that 1 hour is 100%, what is 2/5 hr off of it in percentage?

`\begin{array}{ccll} hour&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 1 & 100\\ (2)/(5)& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{1}{~~ (2)/(5)~~}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 5x=200\implies x=\cfrac{200}{5}\implies x=40`
