Question:

Write 'T' for true and 'F' for false for each of the following:

(i) 6% of 8 is 48.

(ii) 6 : 5 = 30%.

(iii) $\frac{3}{5}=60 \%$.

(iv) 6 hours $=25 \%$ of a day.

 

Solution:

(i) $6 \%$ of $8=\left(8 \times \frac{6}{100}\right)$

= 0.48%

Hence, it is false.

(ii) $6: 5=\frac{6}{5}$

$=\left(\frac{6}{5} \times 100\right) \%$

$=120 \%$

Hence, it is false.

(iii) $\frac{3}{5}=\left(\frac{3}{5} \times 100\right) \%$

= 60%

Hence, it is true.

(iv) 6 hours $=\left(\frac{6}{24} \times 100\right) \%=25 \%$

Hence, it is true.
