The following pie charts give the information about the distribution of weight in the human body according to different kinds of components. Study the pie charts carefully to answer these questions.
What is the ratio of the distribution of proteins in the muscles to that of the distribution of proteins in the bones?
Solution
Protein in the bones is given to be 24%, which can be written as $$\frac{24}{100}=\frac{6}{25}$$
We can say that the protein content will be proportionately distributed according to the weight of the muscles and bones. Muscles are 3/10 of the body weight Bones are 1/5 of the body weight
The required ratio will be, $$\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{10}}{\dfrac{1}{5}}=\dfrac{3}{2}$$
