Question

Convert each part of the ratio to a percentage:

$3:1$

Answer 1

Convert into a percentage.

The given ratio is $3:1$.

Total number of parts are $3+1=4$

The percentage of the first part is computed as:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\mathrm{First}\mathrm{part}& =& \frac{3}{4}\times 100\\ & =& 75\%\end{array}$

The percentage of the second part is computed as:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\mathrm{Second}\mathrm{part}& =& \frac{1}{4}\times 100\\ & =& 25\%\end{array}$

Hence, the first part is $75\%$ and the second part is $25\%$.
