RATIO
Acommon scale for a detailed map is 2cm to | km. This means that 2em on the map
represents an actual horizontal distance of 1 km. This scale may also be given as 1 in
50.000 or 1:50.00, which compares the distance on the map with the actual
horizontal distance.
‘Two different quantities of the same kind may always be compared in this way. If
one of the quantities is expressed as a fraction of the other quantity, this fraction is
said to be the ratio of their sizes. Care must be taken 1 two
quantities are in the same
Example (i) If 1 am 45 years old and my son is LL Ld, the ratio of my age to his is
45: 11; the ratio of Fis ago mine is 11:45. — ~_ <
(ii) The speed of a cyclist is 10 kmjh and of a car is 35 kmjh, The ratio of the speed of the cyclist
4a that of the car is 2:7.
(iii) The price of teais increased from 240 pence per kg to 260 pence pet-kg. The ratio of the old i
price to the new price is 240:260 or 12-13.
(io) The price of an article is increased from £1.25 to £2. The ratio of the old price to the new {
price is 125:200 or 5:8. 25 %2 ee oad

PERCENTAGE
Suppose that, in a certain school, 3 of the pupils are girls. The ratio of the number
of girls in the school to the total number of pupils is 2:5 or 40:100. On average, of
every 100 pupils, 40 are girls and this fact may be more easily expressed by stating
that 40 per cent (or 40%) of the pupils are girls. A percentage is simply a ratio in
which the second number is arranged to be 100.
: 40% is equivalent to the ratio 40:100 or 2:5.
40% is equivalent to the fraction #48 or 3
40% is equivalent to the decimal 0.4.
{mn the example we have considered, it is worth noting that 40°% of the pupil
school are girls and so the remaining 60% must be boys. eee
To express one quantity as a percentage of another quantity of the same kind, first
express it as a fraction of the second quantity and then multiply by 100.
