  In the school library, there are 110 fiction books, 125 nonfiction books, and 250 magazines. The ratio of fiction books to nonfiction books is 110 : 125. Write the ratio of fiction books to nonfiction books as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent


Sagot :

110 : 125 is the same thing as 110/125.

Divide 5 to the numerator and denominator to simplify:

110 / 5 = 22
125 / 5 = 25

So we have 22/25.

To write it as a decimal, just divide 22 / 25, which gives us 0.88.

To write as a percent, multiply 100 to the decimal.

0.88 * 100 = 88%
Ratio is a relationship between 2 amounts such as boys to girls or horses to cows and etc.

Ratio - 110:125
Fraction - 110/125 = 22/25
Decimal - 22/25 = 0.88
Percent - 0.88 = 88%

Answer: 22/25, 0.88, 88%
