Here are the solutions to the problems:

a) (i) Divide $24 in the ratio $7:5$.

  1. Find the total number of parts in the ratio.

    Total parts=7+5=12\text{Total parts} = 7 + 5 = 12
  2. Calculate the value of one part.

    Value of one part=$2412=$2\text{Value of one part} = \frac{\$24}{12} = \$2

  3. Distribute the total amount according to the ratio.

    First share=7×$2=$14\text{First share} = 7 \times \$2 = \$14 Second share=5×$2=$10\text{Second share} = 5 \times \$2 = \$10 The two amounts are \boxed{\14 and $10}$.

    a) (ii) Write 24.60asafractionof24.60 as a fraction of 2870. Give your answer in its lowest terms.

  4. Form the fraction.

    24.602870\frac{24.60}{2870}
  5. Remove the decimal by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 10.

    24.60×102870×10=24628700\frac{24.60 \times 10}{2870 \times 10} = \frac{246}{28700}
  6. Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.

    Both are divisible by 2.

    246÷228700÷2=12314350\frac{246 \div 2}{28700 \div 2} = \frac{123}{14350}
  7. Find common factors for 123 and 14350.

    We know 123=3×41123 = 3 \times 41. Let's check if 14350 is divisible by 41.

    14350÷41=35014350 \div 41 = 350

    So, we can divide both by 41.

    123÷4114350÷41=3350\frac{123 \div 41}{14350 \div 41} = \frac{3}{350}

    The fraction in its lowest terms is 3350\boxed{\frac{3}{350}}.

    a) (iii) Write $1.92 as a percentage of 1.60.

  8. Form the fraction of the given amounts.

    1.921.60\frac{1.92}{1.60}
  9. Convert the fraction to a percentage by multiplying by 100%100\%.

    1.921.60×100%\frac{1.92}{1.60} \times 100\%
  10. Simplify the fraction and calculate the percentage.

    1.921.60=192160=12×1610×16=1210=1.2\frac{1.92}{1.60} = \frac{192}{160} = \frac{12 \times 16}{10 \times 16} = \frac{12}{10} = 1.2 1.2×100%=120%1.2 \times 100\% = 120\%

    The percentage is 120%\boxed{120\%}.
