Answer 1

Answer:

83.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  

the population of two cities a and b is in the ratio 5:6.Express the population of city a as a percentage the population of city b.

So percent is one hundred. So we need to find the population of city a as a percentage of the population of city b.

Now the ratio 5 :6 will be 5/6

Converting into percentage we get

5/6 x 100

= 83.33%

So it will be 83.33%
