Rainforests represent 6% of the land on earth, and contain half of all living things. Find the ratio of rainforests to other habitats

Answer 1

Explanation:

Rainforests = 6%

Other habitats = 100% - 6% = 94%

The ratio would there fore be:

6%/94%

In fraction:

6% = 6/100 = 3/50

94% = 94/100 = 47/50

So,

`((3)/(50))/((47)/(50))=(3)/(50)*(50)/(47)=(3)/(47)`
