The way I like to figure out problems like this is to write it out like,
1/10 = x/6000
(One over ten equals x over 6000)
Then you find out how much you multiplied 10 by to get 6000. To do this you can divide 6000 by 10 getting 600. The rule "what you do to the bottom you have to do to top" in this equation. So since you multiplied the bottom by 600 you have to multiply the top by 600 as well. 600 times 1 is just 600.
So your answer is, 600 is 1/10 of 6000.
Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.
Answer:
Step 1) Convert the 3.15 percent to a decimal number.
To convert 3.15 percent to a decimal number, you divide 3.15 by 100. In other words, the quotient you get when you divide 3.15% by 100 is the decimal number.
3.15 ÷ 100 = 0.0315
Step 2) Convert the decimal number to a fraction.
To convert the decimal number to a fraction, we make the decimal number the numerator, and 1 the denominator.
0.0315 =
0.0315
1
Step 3) Remove the decimal point in the numerator.
To remove the decimal point in the numerator, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10000.
0.0315 × 10000
1 × 10000
=
315
10000
Step 4) Simplify the fraction.
The greatest common factor of 315 and 10000 is 5. Therefore, to simplify the fraction, divide the numerator and denominator by 5.
315 ÷ 5
10000 ÷ 5
=
63
2000
Step 5) Convert the fraction to a ratio.
To convert the fraction to a ratio, replace the fraction divider line with a colon.
63
2000
= 63:2000
That was the final step. Below is the answer to 3.15 percent as a ratio.
3.15% = 63:2000
