Question

How many percent faster is 15 min than 19 min?
And how many percent slower is 19 min than 15 min?

Answer 1

a percent is out of 100, so if you divide 15/19 * 100 it will give you a percent

Answer 2

A percent of what? I don't get it.

Answer 3

15/19=0.789
0.789*100=78.9%

Answer 4

And what does it answer? Sorry... I'm slow, I know.

Answer 5

15mins is 78.9% faster than 19mins

Answer 6

That doesn't sound right. Sorry. But it doesn't. It's too much, isn't it? Since 50 % of 19 is 9,5, and that proves that it isn't right. If you get how I mean.

Answer 7

Or something.

Answer 8

and 78.9% of 19 is 15

Answer 9

Now I get it. Thank you.

Answer 10

But.. How do I solve the first question then?

Answer 11

okay so, lets get this straight. 15/19 * 100 = 78.9% right? agree?

Answer 12

and 19/15 *100 = 126.7%

Answer 13

so 15min is 126.7% faster than 19min
and 19 min is 78.9% slower than 15 min.
