Answer :

Question 1

  1. Convert the following percentages as fractions:

    (i) 276%

    • Convert to fraction:

      [tex]276\% = \frac{276}{100} = \frac{69}{25}[/tex]

    (ii) 3 1/7%

    • Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction, then to a percentage:

      [tex]3 \frac{1}{7}\% = \frac{22}{7}\% = \frac{22}{700} = \frac{11}{350}[/tex]

    (iii) 0.005%

    • Convert to fraction:

      [tex]0.005\% = \frac{0.005}{100} = \frac{5}{100000} = \frac{1}{20000}[/tex]

Question 2

  1. Convert the following fractions as percentages:

    (i) 4/5

    • Convert to percentage:

      [tex]\frac{4}{5} = 0.8 = 80\%[/tex]

    (ii) 2 3/5 (as a decimal, 2 3/5 = 2.6)

    • Convert to percentage:

      [tex]2.6 = 260\%[/tex]

    (iii) 8/25

    • Convert to percentage:

      [tex]\frac{8}{25} = 0.32 = 32\%[/tex]

Question 3

  1. Convert the following as decimals. Then convert the decimals as percentages:

    (i) 7/8

    • Decimal:

      [tex]\frac{7}{8} = 0.875[/tex]

    • Percentage:

      [tex]0.875 = 87.5\%[/tex]

    (ii) 5/16

    • Decimal:

      [tex]\frac{5}{16} = 0.3125[/tex]

    • Percentage:

      [tex]0.3125 = 31.25\%[/tex]

    (iii) 9/80

    • Decimal:

      [tex]\frac{9}{80} = 0.1125[/tex]

    • Percentage:

      [tex]0.1125 = 11.25\%[/tex]

Question 4

  1. Convert the following ratios as percentages:

    (i) 18:25

    • Convert to percentage:

      [tex]\frac{18}{25} = 0.72 = 72\%[/tex]

    (ii) 11:18

    • Convert to percentage:

      [tex]\frac{11}{18} \approx 0.6111 = 61.11\%[/tex]

    (iii) 21:75

    • Convert to percentage:

      [tex]\frac{21}{75} = 0.28 = 28\%[/tex]

Given the scope of the exercise, these are the detailed solutions for questions 1 to 4. Please let me know if you need solutions for further questions! Notice how each conversion involves a clear understanding of the arithmetic process, ensuring the final representation meets the percentage, fraction, or decimal target as required by the original questions.
