Question

What percent of 2/3 is 1/3

Answer 1

Solution:

Given:

$x\text{ \% of }\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3}$

Hence,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{100}\times\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3} \\ \frac{2x}{300}=\frac{1}{3} \\ Cross\text{ multiplying;} \\ 3\times2x=1\times300 \\ 6x=300 \\ Dividing\text{ both sidea by 6;} \\ x=\frac{300}{6} \\ x=50\text{ \%} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, 50 percent of 2/3 is 1/3.
