1.125E-6 is what percent of 0.0005 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 0.0005 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 0.0005, so we can write it down as 100%=0.0005.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.125E-6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.125E-6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.0005
2) x%=1.125E-6
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=0.0005/1.125E-6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.125E-6 is what percent of 0.0005

100%/x%=0.0005/1.125E-6
(100/x)*x=(0.0005/1.125E-6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=444.44444444444*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (444.44444444444) to get x
100/444.44444444444=x
0.225=x
x=0.225

now we have:
1.125E-6 is 0.225% of 0.0005
