Question 1048948: The formula they give me is (Number of Cells in a Phase/ Total number of Cells X 100 = relative length). For example, for Interphase I have 21, 75, and 15. The total is 111. It asks me for the percentage of cells in each stage of Mitosis.If you can please help me I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the ratio of cells in each stage to the total would be:

21/111, 75/111, 15/111

the percentages of cells in each stage would be the ratio times 100.

21/111 * 100, 75/111 * 100, 15/111 * 100

the percents would be:

18.91891892 percent, 67.56756757 percent, 13.51351351 percent.

if you add up all the ratios, they should equal 1.

if you add up all the percents, they should equal 100 percent.

i believe this is what you're looking for.

hopefully it is.
