Class 7 Maths Exercise 7.1 Extra Questions

Convert each of the following fractions into a percentage: (i) 33/100, (ii) ¾ (iii) 7/25 (iv) 11/40

We have:
(i) 33/100 = {(33/100) x 100} % = 33%
(ii) ¾ = {(3/4) x 100} % = 75%
(iii) 7/25 = {(7/25) x 100} % =28%
(iv) 11/40 = {(11/40) x 100} % = 27(1/2) %

Express each of the following as a ratio: (i) 17 % (ii) 72 % (iii) 12.5 % (iv) 225 %

We have, (i) 17 % = 17/100 = 17 : 100.
(ii) 72 % = 72/100 = 18/28 = 18 : 25.
(iii) 12.5 % = 12.5/100 = 125/1000 = 1/8 = 1 : 8.
(iv) 225 % = 225/100 = 9/4 = 9 : 4

Convert each of the following into a fraction: (i) 35 % (ii) 56 % (iii) 37.5 % (iv) 140 %

We have:
(i) 35 % = 35/100 = 7/20
(ii) 56 % = 56/100 = 14/25
(iii) 37.5 % = 37.5/100 = 375/1000 = 3/8
(iv) 140 % = 140/100 = 7/5

Convert each of the following ratios into a percentage: (i) 14 : 25 (ii) 5 : 6 (iii) 111 : 125 (iv) 8 : 5.

We have:
(i) 14 : 25 = 14/25 = (14/25) x 100 % = 56 %
(ii) 5 : 6 = 5/6 = (5/6) x 100 % = 83(1/3) %
(iii) 111 : 125 = 111/125 = (111/125) x 100 % = 88.8 %
(iv) 8 : 5 = 8/5 = (8/5) x 100 % = 160 %

Convert each of the following into a decimal fraction: (i) 36% (ii) 5.4%

We have:
(i) 36% = 36/100 = 0.36
(ii) 5.4% = 5.4/100 = 54/1000 = 0.054

Convert each of the following decimal into a percentage: (i) 0.8 (ii) 0.36

We have:
(i) 0.8 = (0.8 x 100) % = 80 %
(ii) 0.36 = (0.36 x 100) % = 36 %
