Answer 2

Ratio

8 : 5

Fraction

(8/5)

Percentage

160%

Explanation

We are asked to express the 160 cans Marcy collected in terms of the 100 cans she intended to collect initially in form of a ratio, a fraction and then in percentage.

Ratio

160 : 100

We can reduce this further by dividing both numbers by 20

160 : 100

(160/20) : (100/20)

8 : 5

Fraction

(160/100)

Divide numerator and denominator by 20

(160/100) = (8/5)

Percentage

To express in percentage, we just multiply the fraction by 100%

(8/5) × 100% = 160%

Hope this Helps!!!
