The length of a rectangle is 24cm and the breath is 6cm. Express the breath as a percentage of the length

1 answer

To express the breadth as a percentage of the length, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Breadth}}{\text{Length}} \right) \times 100 \]

Given:

  • Length = 24 cm
  • Breadth = 6 cm

Now substitute the values:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{6}{24} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating the fraction:

\[ \frac{6}{24} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \]

Now multiply by 100:

\[ 0.25 \times 100 = 25 \]

Therefore, the breadth is 25% of the length.
