Question 4.
Give two equivalent ratios for each of the following.
(i) 3 : 2
(ii) 1 : 6
(iii) 5 : 4
Solution:

Question 5.
Which of the two ratios is larger?
(i) 4 : 5 or 8 : 15
(ii) 3 : 4 or 7 : 8
(iii) 1 : 2 or 2 : 1
Solution:

Question 6.
Divide the numbers given below in the required ratio.
(i) 20 in the ratio 3 : 2
(ii) 27 in the ratio 4 : 5
(iii) 40 in the ratio 6 : 14
Solution:
(i) Ratio = 3 : 2
Sum of the ratio = 3 + 2 = 5
5 parts = 20
1 part = $$\frac{20}{5}$$
= 4
3 parts = 3 × 4 = 12
2 parts = 2 × 4 = 8
20 can be divided in the form as 12, 8.

(ii) Ratio = 4 : 5
Sum of the ratio = 4 + 5 = 9
9 parts = 27
1 part = $$\frac{27}{9}$$ = 3
4 parts = 4 × 3 = 12
5 parts = 5 × 3 =15
27 can be divided in the form as 12, 15.

(iii) 40 in the ratio 6 : 14
Ratio = 6 : 14
Sum of the ratio = 6 + 14 = 20
20 parts = 40
1 part = $$\frac{40}{20}$$ = 2
6 parts = 2 × 6 = 12
14 parts = 2 × 14 = 28
40 can be divided in the form as 12, 28.

Question 7.
In a family, the amount spent in a month for buying Provisions and Vegetables are in the ratio 3 : 2. If the allotted amount is ₹ 4000, then what will be the amount spent for
(i) Provisions and
(ii) Vegetables?
Solution:
Dividing the total amount ₹ 4000 into 3 + 2 = 5 equal parts then
(i) For Provisions:
3 out of 5 parts are spent for provisions and 2 out of 5 parts for vegetables.
$$4000 \times \frac{3}{5}=2400$$ for provisions
(ii) For vegetables:
$$4000 \times \frac{2}{5}=1600$$ for Vegetables.
₹ 2400 spend on provisions and ₹ 1600 spend on Vegetables.

Question 8.
A line segment 63 cm long is to be divided into two parts in the ratio 3 : 4. Find the length of each part.
Solution:
Total length = 63 cm Ratio = 3 : 4
Sum of the ratio = 3 + 4 = 7
7 parts = 63 cm
1 part = $$\frac{63}{7}$$ = 9 cm
3 parts = 3 × 9 cm = 27 cm
4 parts = 4 × 9 cm = 36 cm
∴ 63 cm can be divided into the parts as 27 cm and 36 cm.
