Question

Convert 8/15% into ratio and fraction

Answer 1

part-to-part ratio is the most common form of ratio. If the ratio 8:15 is a part-to-part ratio, it means that there are 8 of something and 15 of something else with a total of 23.

To convert a part-to-part ratio such as 8:15 as a fraction, you make the left side of the colon the numerator and the total the denominator:

8:15 → 8/23

Since there are 15 of something else, you can also make another fraction where the right side of the colon is the numerator and once again the total is the denominator:

8:15 → 15/23

Part-to-Whole

A part-to-whole ratio of 8:15 means that there are 8 of something and the total is 15. It also means that there are 7 of something else. To convert a Part-to-Whole ratio such as 8:15, you replace the colon with a fraction bar to get this answer:

8:15 → 8/15

Since there are 7 of something else and still the total of 15, you can also make a 2nd fraction like this:

8:15 → 7/15

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, when you buy more apples, you'll have to pay more money. Similarly, if we increase the speed of a vehicle, the time that it takes to cover some distance goes down. The first is an example of direct proportionality and the second is an example of quantities that are inversely proportional.
