Question 1. Express the following vulgar fractions in Decimal fractions, Percentages, and Ratios:

1. 7/18

Solution:

Given:

7/18

WBBSE Solutions For Class 6 Maths Arithmetic Chapter 14 Equivalence Of Fraction, Decimal Fraction, Percentage And Ratio Question 1 Q 1

∴ 7/18 = 0.388……

= 0.38

Now 7/18 can be converted into percentages as

= \(\frac{7}{18} \times 100 \%\)

= \(\frac{7}{9} \times 50 \%\)

= \(\frac{350}{9} \%\)

= \(38 \frac{8}{9} \%\)

Also 7/18 = 7: 18.

∴ The required decimal fraction = 0.38

The required percentage = \(38 \frac{8}{9} \%\)

The required ratio = 7: 18.

∴ 25/64 = 0.390625.

Now,

= \(\frac{25}{64} \times 100 \%\)

= \(\frac{25}{16} \times 25 \%\)

= \(\frac{625}{16} \%\)

= \(39 \frac{1}{6} \%\)

Again, 25/64

= 25: 64.

Question 2. Express 0.9375 in vulgar fraction, percentage, and ratio.

Solution:

Given:

0.9375

0.9375 = 9375 / 10000

= 15/16

(Dividing both numerator and denominator by 625)

Now, 0.9375 = \(\frac{15}{16} \times 100 \%\)

= \(\frac{15}{4} \times 25 \%\)

= \(\frac{375}{4} \%\)

= \(93 \frac{3}{4} \%\)

Again, 0.9375 = 15/16

= 15: 16.

∴ The required vulgar fraction = 15/16;

The required percentages = \(93 \frac{3}{4} \%\);

The required ratio = 15: 16.

Question 3. Express 40% in vulgar fractions, decimal fractions, and ratios.

Solution:

Given:

40%

40% = 40/100

= 2/5;

Now,

 

WBBSE Solutions For Class 6 Maths Arithmetic Chapter 14 Equivalence Of Fraction, Decimal Fraction, Percentage And Ratio Question 3

∴ 2/5 = 0.4

Again, 2/5 = 2: 5.

∴ The required vulgar fraction = 2/5;

The required decimal fraction = 0.4;

The required ratio = 2: 5.

Question 4. Convert the ratio 5: 8 into vulgar fractions, decimal fractions, and percentages.

Solution:

Given:

5: 8

5: 8 = 5/8

Now,

 

WBBSE Solutions For Class 6 Maths Arithmetic Chapter 14 Equivalence Of Fraction, Decimal Fraction, Percentage And Ratio Question 4

 

∴ 5/8 = 0.625

Again,

= \(\frac{5}{8} \times 100 \%\)

= \(\frac{5}{2} \times 25 \%\)

= \(\frac{125}{2} \%\)

= \(62 \frac{1}{2} \%\)

∴ The required vulgar fraction = 5/8;

The required decimal fraction = 0.625;

The required percentage = \(62 \frac{1}{2} \%\)
