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

1 answer

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:

\[ \boxed{10} \]
