Convert each part of the ratio to percentage:

(a) 3:1

(b) 2:3:5

(c) 1:4

(d) 1:2:5

(a) We have to convert 3:1 into percentage:


So, Total parts = 3 + 1 = 4


Therefore,


First part = × 100 %


= 75 %


And,


Second part = × 100 %


= 25 %


(b) We have to convert 2: 3: 5 into percentage:


So,


Total parts = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10


Therefore,


First part = × 100 %


= 20 %


And,


Second part = × 100 %


= 30 %


Also,


Third part = × 100 %


= 50 %


(c) We have to convert 1: 4 into percentage:


So,


Total parts = 1 + 4 = 5


Therefore,


First part = × 100 %


= 20 %


And,


Second part = × 100 %


= 80 %


(d) We have to convert 1:2: 5 into percentage:


So,


Total parts = 1 + 2 + 5 = 8


Therefore,


First part = × 100 %


= 12.5 %


And,


Second part = × 100 %


= × 100 %


= 25 %


Also,


Third part = × 100 %


= 62.5 %
