Question

At a party, 75% of the people are adults and 25% are children. What is the simplest ratio of adults to children?

Answer 1

0.3:0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

first convert the % to decimals.

75%=0.75

25%=0.25

then look for a common factor and divide be that, in this case its 5.

0.75/5=0.15

0.25/5=0.5

now since these arent in the simplified form, you gotta divide again by 5.

0.15/5=0.3

0.5/5=0.1
