First you need to convert the given percentage into fraction by dividing it by 100 and removing percentage symbol (%).
Then you reduce the fraction into simplest forms.
Finally you write the fraction turned simplest form to a ratio by writing
the numerator first,then the denominator.
Example:50%=
(50)/(100)
= (1)/(2).

=1:2
