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.
