Question

What is 1/2% to a ratio ?

Answer 1

1/2% is equivalent to 0.5% or 0.005 as a decimal.

To express 0.005 as a ratio, you can write it as a fraction with a numerator of 0.005 and a denominator of 1. Then, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 to get rid of the decimal and express it as a ratio.

0.005/1 = (0.005

Therefore, 1/2% is equivalent to the ratio 0.5:100 or 1:200.

Answer 2

To convert 1/2% to a ratio, we first convert it to a decimal by dividing by 100:

1/2% = 1/2 ÷ 100 = 0.005

Then we express this decimal as a ratio by putting it in the form of x:y:

0.005 = x:y

To simplify this ratio, we can multiply both sides by a factor that will make x and y whole numbers. For example, we can multiply both sides by 100:

0.005 × 100 = x:y × 100

0.5 = x:y

So 1/2% as a ratio is 1:200.
