  1. (a) 3 : 1
    Total part = 3 + 1 = 4
    Therefore, Fractional part = 3/1 : 1/4
    ⇒ Percentage of parts = 3/4 x 100 : 1/4 x 100
    ⇒ Percentage of parts = 75% : 25%

    (b) 2 : 3 : 5
    Total part = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10
    Therefore, Fractional part = 2/10 : 3/10 : 5/10
    ⇒ Percentage of parts = 2/10 x 100 : 3/10 x 100 : 5/10 x 100
    ⇒ Percentage of parts = 20% : 30% : 50%

    (c) 1 : 4
    Total part = 1 + 4 = 5
    Therefore, Fractional part = 1/5 : 4/5
    ⇒ Percentage of parts = 1/5 x 100 : 4/5 x 100
    ⇒ Percentage of parts = 20% : 80%

    (d) 1 : 2 : 5
    Total part = 1 + 2 + 5 = 8
    Therefore, Fractional part = 1/8 : 2/8 : 5/8
    ⇒ Percentage of parts = 1/8 x 100: 2/8 x 100 : 5/8 x 100
    ⇒ Percentage of parts = 12.5% : 25% : 62.5%
