In this page, conversion of ratio to percentage is explained. The most important part is to understand the context in which a ratio is given and handle the conversion accordingly.

convert the ratio `3:12` to percentage.

• `100 xx 3//12` ` = 25%`
• `100 xx 3//12` ` = 25%`
• a ratio cannot be converted to percentage

The answer is "`25%`".

Convert the percentage `50%` to ratio.

• `50% = 50:100 = 1:2`
• `50% = 50:100 = 1:2`
• it cannot be converted

The answer is "`1:2`".

Note that a percentage is given in a context, like the number of apples is `50%` of the number of oranges.

When the percentage is converted to a ratio, the ratio is specified in the same context, like the number of apples to number or oranges is in `1:2` ratio.
