How to Convert a Percentage to a Ratio?

Converting a percentage to a ratio is a relatively simple process. You can follow these steps:

  1. Convert the percentage to a fraction: Express \( P\% \) as a fraction, which gives \( \frac{P}{100} \).
  2. Simplify the fraction: If necessary, reduce the fraction to its simplest form.
  3. Convert the fraction to a ratio: Based on the fraction, write the corresponding ratio.

Examples

Example 1: Convert 75% to a ratio.

Solution:

1. Convert the percentage to a fraction:

\( 75\% = \frac{75}{100} \)

2. Simplify the fraction:

\( \frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4} \)

3. Convert to a ratio:

\( 3:4 \)

Result: 75% as a ratio is 3:4.

Example 2: Convert 40% to a ratio.

Solution:

1. Convert the percentage to a fraction:

\( 40\% = \frac{40}{100} \)

2. Simplify the fraction:

\( \frac{40}{100} = \frac{2}{5} \)

3. Convert to a ratio:

\( 2:5 \)

Result: 40% as a ratio is 2:5.

Example 3: Convert 20% to a ratio.

Solution:

1. Convert the percentage to a fraction:

\( 20\% = \frac{20}{100} \)

2. Simplify the fraction:

\( \frac{20}{100} = \frac{1}{5} \)

3. Convert to a ratio:

\( 1:5 \)

Result: 20% as a ratio is 1:5.
