Question

Convert each part of ratio to percentage :
(a) 3:1
(b) 2:3:5
(c) 1:4
(d) 1:2:5

Answer 1

Solution-

Convert ratio to percentage

(1) 3 : 1

% of first part = 3/ (1+3)×100=75%

% of second part = 1(1+3)×100=25%

(b) 2 : 3 : 5

% of first part =2/ (2+3+5)× 100 = 20%

% of second part=3/ (2+3+5)× 100 = 30%

% of third part =5/ (2+3+5)×100 = 50%

(C) 1 : 4

% of first part =1/ (1+9) × 100 = 20%

% of second part =4/(1+9) × 100 = 80%

(d) 1 : 2 : 5

% of first part =1/ (1+2+5) × 100=12.5%

% of second part =2/ (1+2+5)×100=25%

% of third part =5/ (1+2+5) × 100=62.5%
