Convert each part of the ratio to percentage:
(a) 3:1
(b) 2:3:5
(c) 1:4
(d) 1:2:5
(a) We have to convert 3:1 into percentage:
So, Total parts = 3 + 1 = 4
Therefore,
First part = × 100 %
= 75 %
And,
Second part = × 100 %
= 25 %
(b) We have to convert 2: 3: 5 into percentage:
So,
Total parts = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10
Therefore,
First part = × 100 %
= 20 %
And,
Second part = × 100 %
= 30 %
Also,
Third part = × 100 %
= 50 %
(c) We have to convert 1: 4 into percentage:
So,
Total parts = 1 + 4 = 5
Therefore,
First part = × 100 %
= 20 %
And,
Second part = × 100 %
= 80 %
(d) We have to convert 1:2: 5 into percentage:
So,
Total parts = 1 + 2 + 5 = 8
Therefore,
First part = × 100 %
= 12.5 %
And,
Second part = × 100 %
= × 100 %
= 25 %
Also,
Third part = × 100 %
= 62.5 %
