Ratio and Percentages
Ratio and Percentages
Ratio and Percentage:
Ratio: The ratio of two quantities 'a' and 'b' of the same kind and in the same units is a fraction which shows that how many times one quantity is of the other and is written as a : b and is read as 'a is to b' where b ≠ 0.
Terms of the ratio: In the ratio a : b, the quantities a and b are called terms of the ratio. Here, 'a' is called the first term or the antecedent and `b' is called the second term or consequent. In the ratio 5 : 9, 5 is called the antecedent and 9 is called the consequent.
Properties of ratio: If the first term and the second term of a ratio are multiplied / divided by the same non-zero number, the ratio does not change.
Ratio in the simplest form: A ratio a : b is said to be in the simplest form if a and b have no common factor other than 1.
Example: Express 15 : 10 in the simplest form.
Solution:
In this we cancelled the common factor 5. Thus, we have expressed the ratio
and the terms 3 and 2 have common factor only 1.
Percentages: The word percent means per hundred.
Conversion of Ratio into Percent:
Example: Convert 3:4 into percent
Solution:
Ratio and Percentage: To express a ratio as percentage we add both the ratios. Then we divide the ratio with the sum of ratios and multiply it with 100.
Example: Express 2:3 as percentage
Solution: First we find the sum of ratios: 2+3 = 5
The divide the first ratio i.e. 2 with 5 and multiply with 100.
The divide the second ratio i.e. 3 with 5 and multiply with 100
Or The second ratio can also be found as 100% - 40% = 60%
Hence, we can express each part of ratio x:y as percentage

When I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.
