Answer:

280 ml as a percentage of 140 l is 0.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Note that 1 liter = 1000 milliliters
  • To find a percentage of a number divide the number by the total and multiply the quotient by 100%

∵ There is an amount of 280 ml

∵ The total amount is 140 l

→ Change the liter to milliliters using the 1st point above

∴ 140 l = 140 × 1000 = 140000 ml

140 l = 140,000 ml

→ Now divide the amount by the total, then multiply the quotient by 100%

∵ 280 ÷ 140,000 = [tex]\frac{1}{500}[/tex]

∵ [tex]\frac{1}{500}[/tex] × 100% = 0.2%

280 ml as a percentage of 140 l is 0.2%
