Q]

Write 'L' against the Largest, 'M' against the next largest and 'S' against the Smallest.
i) 0.7 million
ii) 687,000
iii) eight hundred and four thousand

(b) An amount of Money is divided into two parts in the ratio 1:4. Find the smaller part as a percentage of the Whole amount.

Answer 1

convert i) and iii) to same form as ii) then the answer will be obvious

Answer 2

[NEWS FLASH] That's what i want to ask. How? xD

Answer 3

Just read iii out loud. 804 thousands = 804,000

Answer 4

What's up with that million?
1 million is 100,000 right?
So 0.7 would be?

Answer 5

first one = 0.7 * 1,000,000

Answer 6

no i million = 1,000,000

Answer 7

Oh...

Answer 8

0.1 of 1,000,000 = 100,000
so 0.7 of 1,000,000 = 7 * 100,000

Answer 9

0.1 = 1/10

Answer 10

1/10 of 1,000,000 = 1,000,000 / 10 = 100,000

Answer 11

Which means 0.7 millions = 700,000???

Answer 12

0.7 million = M
687,000 = S
eight hundred and four thousand = L

Answer 13

What about the (b)????

Answer 14

Two parts in the ratio of 1:4?

Answer 15

(b) An amount of Money is divided into two parts in the ratio 1:4. Find the smaller part as a percentage of the Whole amount.

Answer 16

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } \times 100\] ???

Answer 17

Sorry, it's just worded confusingly. Here, set it up more like this\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } \times \frac{ 100 }{ 1 } = \frac{ 100 \times 1 }{ 4 \times 1 }\]

Answer 18

Yes, it's a Question from an Exam Paper...
They have a Habit of Making stuff Confusing >:(

Answer 19

so, 100 / 4 = 25.
Now two parts of that?

Answer 20

I think the Question means that the Money is divided into two parts.
One part is 1 and the other 4, making a ratio 1:4. We have to find the percentage of 1

Answer 21

So, wouldn't we get 1/5 parts then?

Answer 22

Aw yessssss

Answer 23

Alright, so 100 / 5 Would be our fraction then.

Answer 24

Ok so the Answer is Correct. But can you explain a *little* how would we get 100/5 so there is no confusion. Answer is 20 (correct)

Answer 25

Alright, \[\frac{ 100 }{ 1 } \times \frac{ 1 }{ 5 } = \frac{ 100 \times 1 }{ 1 \times 5 } = \frac{ 100 }{ 5 }\]

Answer 26

THANKS AGAIN! lol
