15m is what percent of 1.5km

To start, first make sure both units are the same, so we will start by converting 1.5 kilometers to meters.

Because one kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, multiply 1.5 by 1000 to get 1500 meters.

Now, set up a proportion in this format:

part/whole=percent/100

This should look like this where x is the missing percent:

15/1500=x/100

Now, cross multiply:

15*100=1500x

1500=1500x

Finally, divide both sides by 1500 to get that x=1.

Therefore, 15m is 1% of 1.5km.

It’s 10% of 1.5km

15 m = 150cm

1.5km = 1500cm

(150/1500) x 100 = 10
