How can you use percents to compare two ratios with different denominators?

A percentage can be considered a fraction with a denominator of 100. 25% is 25/100, which can be simplified to 1/4. Similarly, 20% is 20/100, which simplifies to 1/5. Thus, 1/4 is comparable to 1/5 by comparing 25% to 20%.

Are all percents ratios?
Yes, all percents are ratios.for example, 3% is 3/100.28% is 28/100 or 7/25.0% is 0/100 or 0.309% is 309/100 or 3 and 9/100.

What Relating percents ratios and decimals?
Percentages are a way of expressing a part-to-whole relationship, often represented as a ratio or fraction out of 100. Ratios, on the other hand, compare two or more quantities, often expressed in the form of a fraction or ratio. Decimals are a way of representing fractions or ratios using a base-10 numbering system. All three - percents, ratios, and decimals - can be used interchangeably when expressing mathematical relationships or values. For example, a ratio of 2:5 can be expressed as a percentage of 40%, and as a decimal of 0.4.
