Explanation:
step 1: add the ratios
1/2 + 1/4 + 1/5 = 0.95
step 2: divide each ratio by the total sum of the ratios and multiply by a 100
(1/2 ÷ 0.95) × 100 = 52.63 rounded off equals to 53
(1/4 ÷ 0.95) × 100 = 26.31 rounded off equals to 26
(1/5 ÷ 0.95) × 100 = 21.05 rounded off equals to 21
These ratios should add up to a 100
so the ratio are 53 : 26 : 21
