What is 100000 percent of 5.0E-6 - 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 5.0E-6 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 5.0E-6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.0E-6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 100000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=100000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.0E-6=100%
2) x=100000%
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:
5.0E-6/x=100%/100000%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 100000% of 5.0E-6

5.0E-6/x=100/100000
(5.0E-6/x)*x=(100/100000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.0E-6=0.001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.001) to get x
5.0E-6/0.001=x
0.005=x
x=0.005

now we have:
100000% of 5.0E-6=0.005
