Introduction for ratio statistics:
A relation is getting form the comparison of two quantities like in some wisdom is called a ratio. Ratio will be show by the terms of fraction, that is, a:b is equal to `a/b` For example 25 is `1/4` of the hundred, Therefore, the ratio of 25 to 100 is `1/4` . We can write it in ratio as 1:4.
Example Problems for Ratio Statistics:
Example 1: Find the ratio of 90 centimeters to 7 meters in its simplest form.
Solution:
7 m = 7 `xx` 100 cm
Therefore, 7 m = 700 cm
Therefore, the ratio of 90 cm to 7 m = 90cm: 700 cm
Now we have to cancel out the units. So we get
90: 700
Now we have to divide both terms by 10. So we get
9:70
Example 2: Find the ratio of 700 m to 1.7 km in its simplest form.
Solution:
1 km = 1000 m
1.7 km = 1.7 `xx` 1000
Therefore, 1.4 km = 1700 m
Therefore, the ratio of 700 meter to 1.7 km = 700 m : 1700 m
Now we have to cancel out the units. So we get,
700:1700
Now we have to divide both terms by100. So we get
7:17
Example 3: Find the ratio of 20 minutes to 7 hours in its simplest form.
Solution:
1 hour = 60 minutes
7 hours = 7 `xx` 60 minutes
Therefore, 5 hours = 420 minutes
Therefore, the ratio of 20 minutes to 7 hours = 50 min : 420 min
Now we have to cancel out the units. So we get
20: 420
Now we have to divide both terms by 10. So we get
2:42
Now we have to divide both terms by 10. So we get
1:21
