Question

1/2 of 14 equals blank percent of 70. Find the missing number in the box

Answer 1

First, let's calculate \( \frac{1}{2} \) of 14:

\[
\frac{1}{2} \times 14 = 7
\]

Next, we need to find what percent \( 7 \) is of \( 70 \). We can express this as an equation:

\[
\text{percent} = \left( \frac{7}{70} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating \( \frac{7}{70} \):

\[
\frac{7}{70} = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1
\]

Now, converting to percent:

\[
0.1 \times 100 = 10
\]

Thus, \( 7 \) is \( 10\% \) of \( 70 \). Therefore, the missing number in the box is:

\[
\boxed{10}
\]
