Ratio is a comparison of two values or two quantities.

Fraction is a another form of ratio.

The first term and the second term in the ratios are important.

It should not be changed.

The first quantity value is in first term and the second quantity value is in second term of the ratio.

Ratio and fractions are same.

Example:

The ratio of male to female in the school is 5 : 6.

5 represents male students and 6 represents female students.

The fraction form of the above ratio is \frac{5}{6} .

Nandini makes 'halwa' one evening and divides it into four equal portions for her family of four. However, just as they are abou
wel

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total 'halwa' made = 1

Divided into four equal portion = 1/4

Arrival of an unexpected guest = 1/5

By what percentage has each family member's share been reduced:

Change in the sharing proportion:

Previous share ratio - new sharing ratio

(1/4 - 1/5) = (5 - 4) / 20 = 1/20

That means total reduction in the sharing = 1/ 20

Since each member comes contributed equally:

Reduction in each family member's share ;

(1 / 20) ÷ 4

(1 / 20) * 1/4 = 1/ 80

Percentage reduction:

(Reduction / original share) * 100%

[(1/80) ÷ (1/4)] * 100

(1/80 * 4/1) * 100%

(1/20) * 100%

= 5%

Reduction in each family members share = 5%

. The total cost (t) is proportional to the number (n) of items purchased at a constant price of $3.
navik [9.2K]

Answer

t = 3n

Step-by-step explanation:

n and t are proportional so you know they will be on the opposite ends of the equal sign. Then you know that the items are purchased at the constant price of $3. That means you do the number of items times 3 to get the total cost.
