it means out of 80 things, you are dealing with 1. to put it another way, you are dealing with 1 thing but there are 79 other things which you arn't dealing with. This method of discribing something is usually used in ratios so if a cake mix consists of 1 part in 80 sugar, for every 80g of cake mix (total weight) you will have 1g of sugar.
