You're welcome.
To write 27% as a rate ratio, you need to understand what a rate ratio represents. A rate ratio is a comparison of two quantities using different units. In this case, we want to compare the quantity of 27% to an equivalent ratio.
Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal.
To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide the percentage value by 100. In this case, you have 27%, so divide 27 by 100:
27 รท 100 = 0.27
Step 2: Express the decimal as a ratio.
To express the decimal as a ratio, you can write it as a fraction with a numerator and a denominator. The numerator will be the decimal value, and the denominator is always 1.
So, the ratio for 0.27 is:
0.27/1
Step 3: Simplify the ratio (if needed).
If the numerator and denominator have a common factor, you can simplify the ratio. In this case, 0.27/1 cannot be simplified further.
Thus, 27% can be written as the rate ratio 0.27/1.
