Answer the following question in your discussion group: Sometimes people say “Give 110% of your effort.” Is it possible to give 110% of your effort? Is there ever a situation where you might have a percent over 100? If no, explain why. If yes, give a scenario where a percent over 100 makes sense.
Technically, it's not possible to give more than 100% of your effort.
What do you think people mean when the ask you to give more than 100% of your effort?
the volume of a right circular cone is 2512 cm2 and its radius and height are in the ratio 5:12 find its radius and slant height?

In order to answer this question, let's first understand the concept of percentages and what they represent. Percentages are mathematical expressions which represent parts of a whole, with 100% being the maximum value.
When we say "Give 100% effort," it means giving all of your effort, putting in maximum effort towards a task. So, strictly speaking, it is not possible to give more than 100% effort because 100% already represents the full amount.
However, in certain contexts, people use the phrase "giving more than 100%" or "giving 110%" as a figure of speech, not to be taken literally. It's a way of encouraging someone to go above and beyond, to push themselves harder than they normally would.
In a scenario where a percent over 100 makes sense, consider a situation where someone is asked to work extra hours beyond their regular shifts to meet a critical deadline. They may be encouraged to "give 110%" by putting in additional effort, going above and beyond their normal workload, and stretching their abilities.
While it is not technically possible to exceed 100% effort in a quantitative sense, the phrase "giving 110%" is often used metaphorically to inspire individuals to surpass their personal limitations and achieve a higher level of performance.
