Question from Lauren, a student:

Mary is 1.4m tall and her brother Michael is 1.2m tall.
Express Mary's height as a percentage of her brother's.

Hi Lauren,

Since Mary is taller then Michael her height is more than 100% of Michael's height. What is Mary's height as a fraction of Michael's height? Express this fraction as a percentage.
