Scale each of the following ratios of part to whole so that the whole is equal to 100

To scale a ratio so that the whole is equal to 100, you follow these steps:

1. **Identify the ratio** of part to whole.
2. **Determine the scaling factor** by dividing 100 by the given whole.
3. **Multiply both the part and the whole** by the scaling factor to get the new ratio where the whole is 100.

Please provide the ratios you need scaled, and I'll help you with the calculations.

Here are 5 questions related to scaling ratios:
1. What happens to a ratio when both terms are multiplied by the same number?
2. How does scaling a ratio change its proportion?
3. Why is it useful to scale a ratio to a whole of 100 in certain scenarios?
4. Can the part of the ratio ever exceed the whole when scaling?
5. How do you check if two ratios are equivalent?

**Tip:** Always double-check your scaling factor before applying it to avoid errors in the final ratio.
