The double number line shows that Jéssica lives 48 km from the capitol. disctance: 60 (km) (fill in the blank)% of 48 km

Answer 1

To determine what percentage 60 km is of 48 km, we can set up a proportion and solve for the percentage.

Let's denote the percentage as \( p \):

\[ \frac{60 \text{ km}}{48 \text{ km}} = \frac{p}{100} \]

To solve for \( p \), we can cross-multiply and solve the resulting equation:

\[ 60 \times 100 = 48 \times p \]

\[ 6000 = 48p \]

Divide both sides by 48 to isolate \( p \):

\[ p = \frac{6000}{48} \]

\[ p = 125 \]

So, 60 km is 125% of 48 km.
