Question

convert each part of the ratio to percentage :

A)3:1

B)2:3:4

C)1:2:5

Answer 1

1) 3 : 1
Total number of parts = 3 + 1 = 4
So 3 out of 4 parts = $\frac{3\times 100}{4}=75\%$
And 1 out of 4 parts = $\frac{1\times 100}{4}=25\%$
2) 2 : 3 : 4
Total number of parts = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9 parts
So 2 out of 9 parts = $\frac{2\times 100}{9}=22.222\%$
3 out of 9 parts = $\frac{3\times 100}{9}=33.333\%$
And 4 out of 9 parts = $\frac{4\times 100}{9}=44.444\%$
3) 1 : 2 : 5
Total number of parts = 1 + 2 + 5 = 8 parts
So, 1 out of 8 parts = $\frac{1\times 100}{8}=12.5\%$
2 out of 8 parts = $\frac{2\times 100}{8}=25\%$
And 5 out of 8 parts = $\frac{5\times 100}{8}=62.5\%$
